Originally done by the Evergreen Blues (Mercury 72756) earlier in 1968; the
Grass Roots' arrangement is more-or-less a note-for-note copy of theirs.

Verse 1:
G#m
The sound of your footsteps
F#
Telling me that you're near
A#m
Your soft gentle motion, baby
D#m C#
Brings out the need in me that no-one can hear, except
Chorus:
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
When I tell all the world that I love you
F# C#
In my midnight confessions
G#m C#
When I say all the things that I want to
N.C.
I love you
Bridge:
E B F# C#
But a little gold ring you wear on your hand makes me understand
E B F#
There's another before me, you'll never be mine
D#
I'm wasting my time
repeat first four bars of intro, then 2/4 bar w/snare on 2
Verse 2:
Staggering through the daytime
Your image on my mind
Passing so close beside you baby
Sometimes the feelings are so hard to hide, except
repeat chorus
Horn break:
F# C# E B 2x
