Essential Collection: Four Tops

20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: Best Of The Four Tops

The Four Tops are an American Motown musical quartet, whose repertoire has included doo-wop, jazz, soul music, rnb, disco, adult contemporary, showtunes, and even psychedelic rock. Founded in Detroit, Michigan as The Four Aims, lead singer Levi Stubbs and group mates Abdul &quot;Duke&quot; Fakir, Renaldo &quot;Obie&quot; Benson, and Lawrence Payton remained together for over four decades, finally forced to endure a lineup change when Payton died in 1997. At that time, Theo Peoples was added to the lineup; Peoples later replaced Stubbs, who fell ill from cancer, and Ronnie McNeir assumed Peoples' spot.

Can't Help Myself

It's The Same Old Song


C Am 4x

       C
You're sweet as a honey bee
           Dm7
But like a honey bee stings
                F                G
You've gone and left my heart in pain
        C
All you left, is our favorite song
    Dm7              F         G
The one we danced to all night long
           C
It used to bring sweet memories
     Dm7              F       G
Of a tender love that used to be

             C    F   G
Now it's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G        F
Since you been gone
         C    F   G
It's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G
Since you been gone

C Am 2x
              C
A sentimental fool am I
   Dm7
to hear a old love song
    F     G
And wanna cry
        C   
But the melody keeps haunting me
  Dm7               F               G
Reminding me how in love we used to be
     C   
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
         Dm7
Saying together forever
F           G
Breaking up never

             C    F   G
Now it's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G        F
Since you been gone
         C    F   G
It's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G
Since you been gone

C Am 2x  break

         C
Precious memories keep a lingering on
Dm7                   F        G
Every time I hear our favorite song
           C
Now you're gone

Left this emptiness
  Dm7
I only reminisce
    F            G
The happiness we spent
           C
We used to dance on the music (we used to dance to the music)
       Dm7
Make romance through the music (make romance through the music)

             C    F   G
Now it's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G        F
Since you been gone
         C    F   G
It's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G
Since you been gone

C Am 2x  
             C    F   G
Now it's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G        F
Since you been gone
         C    F   G
It's the same old song
           Dm
But with a different meaning
      G
Since you been gone

It's The Same Old Song

Bernadette

#1.
D           C
Bernadette, people are searchin' for
Bb                    A
the kind of love that we possess.
D           C
Some go on, searchin' their whole life through,
Bb                           A
and never find the love I've found in you.

CHORUS:
F          Dm                  Gm            C
And when I speak of you, I see envy in other men's eyes.
F       Dm                   Gm            C
And I'm well aware of what's on their minds.
Gm              F                  C
They pretend to be my friend, when all the time
Gm        F               C
they long to persuade you from my side.
       Gm                     Am
They'd give the world and all they own
         C
for just one moment we have known.

#2.
D           C                     Bb                A       C
Bernadette, they want you because of the pride that it gives.
    D           C                   Bb            A
But Bernadette, I want you because, I need you to live.

CHORUS:#2.
F           Dm   Gm      C
But while I live only to hold you,
F          Dm        Gm         C
some other men, they long to control you.
Gm                  F        C
But how can they control you Bernadette,
     Gm              F                C
when they can not control themselves, Bernadette,
     Gm           Am           C 
from wanting you, needing you, but darling, you belong to me.

#3.
D                C                    Bb 
Bernadette, I'll tell the world you belong to me.
A                  C   D
I'll tell the world....you're the soul of me.
     C                       Bb                    A
I'll tell the world you're a part of me..Bernadette!

CHORUS:
F              Bb                        Dm
In your arms I find the kind of peace of mind
                       A    Bb
the world is searching for.
    F                             Bb     
But you, you give me the joy this heart of mine
    Dm                  A
has always been longing for.

CHORUS:
F        Dm        Gm        C
In you I have what other men long for.
F   Dm                  Gm          C
All men need someone to worship and adore.
Gm           F                 C
That's why I treasure you, and place you high above..
Gm           F                 C
for the only joy in life is to be loved.
Gm     Am           C                   D
So whatever you do, Bernadette, keep on loving me,
C                   Bb           A
Bernadette, keep on needing me...Bernadette!

OUTRO:
D                      C                       Bb
Bernadette, you're the soul of me..more than a dream,
       A          C
you're clear to me.
    D                    C                  Bb
And Bernadette, you mean more to me, than a woman was 
     A
ever meant to be...(Fade.)

#1.
    
G          D            F               Am
And when I see the sign that points One Way,

C          G               C     A7
the lot we used to pass by every day.

CHORUS:
    
G         Em
Just walk away, Renee,              
    C                   G        D
you won't see me follow you back home.    
G         Em              C                 G   D Em
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same....
C      G   Am G
You're not to blame.

 
#2.
     
G           D              F             Am
From deep inside the fear, that I forced aside,   
C           G              C               A7
from deep inside the pain, that I chose to hide.
 
CHORUS:#2.

G         Em
Just walk away Renee,     
    C                   G        D
you won't see me follow you back home.
G          Em              C             G D Em
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes....
C   G  Am G
for me it cries.

#3.
           
G             D            F              Am
Your name and mine inside, a heart upon a wall,
C            G                C                 A7
still find a way to haunt me, though they're so small.

    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive

Better on my own

 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
