 It would be difficult to find a rock &amp; roll star -- and that was what he was for two years in the mid-'60s -- less likely than Gary Lewis, or a less probable chart-topping act than Gary Lewis &amp; the Playboys. Lewis himself was possessed of a limited singing range and didn't have what could be considered good looks, yet with a lot of help he managed to make some exceptionally good (and good-selling) records out of Los Angeles, in the midst of the British Invasion, and teenagers loved him.

I never did too much to make her stay here,
D                                  Em  A
And words of love to her I'd never say.
  G                 A                D             B7
I guess I learned a lesson when she..walked out to stay,
    G               A         D               B7
But I'm, sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her,
G              A              D
I'm sure gonna miss her every day.

D
I don't suppose I ever said, 'I Love You.'
                                     Em    A
And I found out too late that wasn't right.
    G        A                 D
I'm just now realizin', what I lost,
D              B7
That's why I'm cryin',
        Em         A         D          B7
And I'm sure gonna miss her, sure gonna miss her,
G          A               D
Sure gonna miss her, every night.

CHORUS:
Eb                         D
I know I took her love for granted.
Eb                              D
Guess you could say my love was blind.
Eb                               D        B
Thought if she left that I could stand it,
   E               E7            A    A7
or else, it didn't matter at the time.

#3.
  D
I heard she's found a guy that treats her better.
                                  Em  A
I hope he knows that he's a lucky guy.
  G                 A                D       B7
I know the rumour's true because I...saw her today,
        Em         A
And I'm sure gonna miss her,
D              B7
He was walking with her,
G              A                 D
I'm sure gonna miss her, yes...I am.

Got your letter today
You didn't have much to say
C                  Am
You didn't say you love me only

You didn't even say you're lonely

That everything is wrong

Verse 2:
I just saw your best friend
And she tried to pretend
Everything was really fine
And that your love was still just mine
But she didn't realize
I could see it in her eyes
She was telling lies
Wo, I can read between the lines, yeah

But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G

Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
