Chords for Del Shannon ( Documentry style clip )

_ I wrote a song while I lived in a little town called Coopersville, Michigan.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
You must be [A] joking. _ _ _ _
[G] I wrote this song because I wanted to get the hell out of that town, really.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [G] And this song was top 10 in, I think, 1964.
It's a little story about my [Em] life, I guess. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ No one [Am] will understand _ _ [G] what I've gotta do.
_ [Am] _
Gotta find a place to hide [C] with my
baby by [E] my side.
_ [Am] _
She's found her some love.
_ [G] The tree is her beating drum.
_ _ [Am] _
Gotta keep up.
_ There's [C] only one thing that we [E] can do.
Gotta [A] search, _ search.
Find a place to [F#m] hide.
Search, search.
_ She'll be by my [D] side if we gotta keep [Em] on the run.
[Am] Follow the sun.
_ _ [D] _ _ Follow [Am] the sun.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter what people [A] might say.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _
She's mine and I'm gonna take her _ [E] anyway.
_ _ _ _ Gotta [A] _ _
_ _ _ find a place [F#m] to stay.
Search and search.
She'll be gone [D] today if we gotta keep [E] on the [Am] run.
Follow the sun.
_ _ [D] _ _ Follow [Am] the sun.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [A#] _ _ I [D#] tell my arms they'll hold someone new.
_ Another love that will reach her.
_ They [D] don't listen, but I seem to care.
I look for her.
She's not [G#m] there and I,
I go to pieces and I wanna cry.
_ I go to pieces and I almost die.
Gosh, I love that.
I [G] love that.
Tell me more about Del Shannon.
Well, he was a unique character in terms of the fact that he crossed the bridge between
_ [G#m] two very popular forms of music, rhythm and blues, and [C#] country.
He was like a pop
_ [G] _
[Gm] spot in the middle.
Wow.
And _ [G#m] _
he even had something to [Fm] do with the British invasion with this song.
I go to pieces.
That's right.
Neil Gordon did it.
In fact, in England,
[F] the Beatles opened for him in 1962.
Imagine that. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Here's a song.
_ _ _ I wrote this song for _ a dollar girl in high school _ back about 10 years ago.
[D#] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Ain't nobody believe it. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] And she gave her sweet love to everybody in town but me. _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Is she calling?
Is she calling?
A little [Am] town girl?
_ _ Is she calling [F] for her?
_ _ _ But you're gonna [G] get hurt. _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] I know it's so hard to [F] pretend. _
You can't taste your lover tender leg lift.
But you can get [C] hurt.
_ _ [Am] _
You can [C] get hurt.
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ A little [F] _ _ _ [G] town _ _ _ _ [C] _ girl. _
[A] _ _ _ [C] Is she calling?
Is she calling?
You gotta look in [Am] her eyes. _
_ _ She plays [F] _
around _ with every guy [G] that goes by.
_ _ _ [E] I know she's going through [F] hell. _ _ _ _
Just better be strong.
You [C] can get hurt.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Del Shannon's Runaway was a [Am] bridge between the innocence of the 50s and aggressive rock of the 60s. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Right as I _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
was so [E] strong. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ I'd go all [G] down Africa.
_ _ Take the dark [F] together.
_ All [C] my heart's [E] coming out.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _
I'm a-walking in the rain.
[F#m] Tears are falling and I feel the pain.
[A] _ Missing you when you're here by me.
[F#m] _ _ You ain't left me for me.
I [A] wonder. _
Why?
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] Why? _ _ _ _
_ [F#] Why?
[F#m] She ran away and I [D] won't move.
_ _ Where you [E] gonna take it?
_ I'll be [A] here following.
_ [D] Run, run, run, run.
[A] _ _
[Em] I don't want to be moved.
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
That's it, Paul.
[A] Come on, that's it.
_ [Am] _
I [G] don't love her. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
I'm a-walking in the rain.
[F#m] Tears are falling and I feel the [A] pain.
Missing you when you're here by me.
[F#m] _ _ You ain't left me for me.
I [A] wonder. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ Me and you are doing.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [D]
I wonder.
_ _ _ [Em] Where [E] you gonna stay?
_ _ _ [A] I'm a-walking in the rain.
[D] Run, run, _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [A] _ _ run, _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ run.
I don't want to be moved.
[A] That's it, Paul.
Come on, that's it.
I don't want to be [Am] moved. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] That's it.
_ _ _ February, [E] 1990.
Just simply a good man.
