Song: Darling Be Home Soon
By:   The Lovin' Spoonful

[intro:]    |G    |G    |
  
[Verse 1]
|G           |C                             |G       
 Come,   and talk about the things we did to-day
|G           |C                           |G
 Hear,   and laugh about our funny little ways
        |/     /     /    /     |
        |C    C/B    Am         |G
While we have a  few minutes to breathe,
      |C    C/B       Am           |G    
And I know that it's time you must leave
 
[chorus:]
       /      /       /  / |/   /  {bar has two beats}
     |Csus4           C    |C   
But, darling, be home soon
  |  /       /      /       /    | /   /    /      /  | /   /  {two beats}
  |Csus4            C            |G                   |G
I couldn't bare to wait an extra minute if you dawdled
   | /      /        /   / |  /    /  
   |Csus4            C     |C 
My darling, be home soon
    | /    /     /      /     
    |Csus4       C     
It's not just these few hours
    | /     /     /      /  | /   /  
    |G                      |G  
But I've been waiting since I toddled
        | /      /       /     /     |            
        |C      C/B     Am            |G      |G  
For the great relief of having you to talk to  
 
[verse: 2]
    |G        |C                          |G
And now,    a quarter of my life is almost past
  |G                 |C             |G
I think I've come to see myself, at last
      |C   C/B      Am           |G
And I see that the time spent confused
        |C   C/B    Am            |G
Was the time that I spent without you
      | /   /    /   /   |
      |C   C/B  Am  Am/G |D          |
And I feel my--self in    blue

[verse: 3]
|G       |C/B                             |G
Go,  and beat your crazy head against the sky
|G         |C/B                           |G
Try,   and see beyond the houses and your eyes

It's okay       to shoot the  moon
