VERSE 1: (C) I tried so hard my dear to show
G7 That you’re my every dream
Yet you’re afraid each thing I do C
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past F
Keeps us so far apart ─ G7
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind C
And melt your cold, cold heart
VERSE 2: (C) Another love before my time
G7 Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now C
For things I didn’t do
In anger unkind words are said F
That make the teardrops start ─ G7
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind C
And melt your cold, cold heart
G7 C
VERSE 3: (C) You’ll never know how much it hurts
G7 To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love C
Yet you’re afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life F
To try it just ain’t smart ─ G7
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind C
And melt your cold, cold heart
VERSE 4: (C) There was a time when I believed
G7 That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled C
To a memory
The more I learn to care for you F
The more we drift apart ─ G7
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind [S-L-O-W-E-R] C And melt your cold, cold heart

The Frozen LoggerBeatles
Intro: C C C C
As CI sat down one
Gevening,
'Twas in a small cafCe,
A forty year old Fwaitress
To Gme these words did
Csay:
I see that you are a Glogger
And not just a common Cbum
Cause nobody but a Flogger
Stirs Gcoffee with his
Cthumb
My lover he was a Glogger,
There's none like him Ctoday
If you poured whisky Fon it
He'd Geat a bale of
Chay
He never shaved his Gwhiskers
From off of his horny Chide
He’d just drive them in with a Fhammer
And Gbite them off
Cinside
My logger he came to see Gme
Upon one freezing Cday
He held me in a fond Fembrace
Which Gbroke three
Cvertebrae
He kissed me when we Gparted
So hard that he broke my Cjaw
I could not speak for to Ftell him
He Gforgot his
Cmackinaw
The weather tried to Gfreeze him
It did its very Cbest
At a hundred degrees Fbelow zero
He Gbuttoned up his
Cvest
It froze clear through toG China
It froze to the stars Cabove
At a thousand degrees Fbelow zero
It Gfroze my logger
Clove
And so I lost my Glogger
And to this cafe I've Ccome
And it's here I wait for Fsomeone
To stir Gcoffee with his
