Stevie Wonder, Lately (1980)
Key: :[Bb] (w: Stevie Wonder)
INTRO: [Bb] [Gm] [D#maj7] [Cm7]
VERSE 1:
[Bb] Lately I have had this strangest
[Gm] feeling
[Cm7] with no vivid reasons here to
[F] find
[Cm] Yet the thought of
[CmM7] losing you's been
[Cm7] hanging
[F] round my
[Bb] mind ^
[F]^
[Bb] ^
[F]^
[Bb]
VERSE 2:
[Bb] Far more frequently you're wearing
[Gm] perfume
[Cm7] with you say, no special place to
[F] go
But
[Cm] when I ask will
[CmM7] you be coming
[Cm7] back soon
[F] you don't
[Bb] know, never
[Bb9] know
CHORUS:
[Cm] Well, I'm a man of many wishes,
[D#m] I hope my premonition misses
But
[Dm7] what I really feel, my eyes won't
[G7] let me hide
Cause they
[Cm7] al-
[Dm7]-ways
[D#m7] start
[F] to
[Bb] cry
Cause this
[Cm7] time
[Dm7] could
[D#m7] mean
[F] good-
[Bb]-bye
[Gm] [D#maj7] [Cm7] [F]
VERSE 3:
[Bb] Lately I've been staring in the
[Gm] mirror
[Cm7] very slowly picking me a-
[F]-part
[Cm] Tryin' to tell my-
[CmM7]-self I have no
[Cm7] reason
[F] with your heart
[Bb] ^
[F]^
[Bb] ^
[F]^
[Bb]
VERSE 4:
[Bb] Just the other night while you were
[Gm] sleeping
[Cm7] I vaguely heard you whisper someone's
[F] name
But
[Cm] when I ask you of
[CmM7] the thoughts you're
[Cm7] keeping
[F] you just
[Bb] say, nothing's changed
[Bb/G#]
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
