_ _ [Eb] _ When I'm [Db] up close to you, [Ab] I find that it's [B] hard to beat
_ [Eb] _
I [Db] act like a child with this and I [Ab] guess that it shows [B] where I'm [Eb] at
_ You got the magic touch and I'm caught in the spell
_ You never [Db] convinced me that I'd be [Ab] brave for a [B] pussy shot _
[Eb] But something [Db] weird happens when I [Ab] look into your [B] eyes
_ [Eb] I [Db] try to defend myself but too [Ab] late, I [B] finally see that
[Eb] _
You got [Eb] the magic touch and you cast your spell over me

And I [N] was visiting a coffee bar called The Left Wing at the time in Brasenose Street
And I had a pile of [D] Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley imports under my arm
And I sat at a coffee bar table
Somebody came up and said, do you know anything about rhythm and blues?
Of course I said yes
And they said, do you want to DJ on our all-nighter?
We bought [Bm] the place, we're going to turn it [Gm] into a club called The Twisted [G] Wheel
_ _ [C] When I'm [G] out on the road
_ _ It makes me feel like a kid
We had a record [C] store in London called Soul City
I said to them, [A] don't waste your time playing new records out of the American chart
When [Dm] you've got northern people [Eb] in the shop
Play them these soul, northern [F] soul records
And that's how the term came [F] about _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When soul music turned funky, the Londoners started [Eb] to like [Fm] funky music
And I think the mods stuck to the roots of beer
And stuck to that stuff, it's what they liked
So they still wanted to play it
Because [A] it would even northern soul by Dave Godden
[Fm] _ [Abm] As far as [Db] we're concerned, it's one of [Gb] America's greatest cultural gifts

_ I wrote on the mirror with my own lipstick
[Eb] I love you but [Ab] _ you're meanest
No one can love you more than me, baby
[Gm] No one can love you more [Ab] _ [Eb] than me, baby
And if she says she loves you more than me
[Gm] _ She'll be lying [Ab] and [Gm] you'll be [Cm] just like me

No one can [Ab] love you more than [Eb] me, [Fm] _ _ [Dbm] baby _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ It's a way of life and a state of mind
That's how you got northern [Em] soul, it's deep soul with a dance beat, that's what it [Dbm] is _ _
_ _ _ _ I couldn't describe what it is, all [E] I know is it's just feel good [C] music _ _
Just feel good music, dance floor fellas
You don't want me [A] no more, my [C] sweet baby
[Gbm] [Dbm] Pop music people have forgotten, _ but not northern [E] soul
And still be human, [A] it's an answer
I just feel [Gbm] like I did in the 70s, you know, can't get enough of it really
I just felt [E] like I was sort of 18, 17 again, you know
[Dbm] _ _ It can make you cry, it can make you happy
You listen to some soul music, and hear them [B] saxophones playing
It's there to your heart, [Dbm] it's really incredible music
[Gbm] _ _
You go somewhere, you [E] hear the music
It makes the hairs on the back of your [Dbm] neck stand on end
And [A] your feet want to dance _ _ _ _ _ _ _
