I Think I Love You - David Cassidy (The Partridge Family)


I Think I Love You – Partridge Family (capo 1st fret)



    Dm                                       A 
I'm sleeping, and right in the middle of a good dream, 
                   Dm                                 G 
When all at once I wake up, from something that keeps knocking at my brain,
                             Dm                   
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head, 
    C                              G                                 Dm 
And spring up in my bed, screaming out the words I dread  

I think I love you!


     Dm                             A 
This morning, I woke up with this feeling, 
                     Dm                        G            
I didn't know how to deal with, and so I just decided to myself 
                           Dm                       
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it, 
    C                                G                                Dm
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room

I think I love you! 


          G                         D 
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of 

I'm afraid that I'm not
A                          Bm                   
sure of a love there is no cure for 
          A                                D 
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
          E                           A 
though it worries me to say that I've never felt this way

(Harpsichord) solo

  G                   C             D                    A 
I don't know what I'm up against, I don't know what it's all about
  A              D            A  
I got so much to think about, Hey

          G                         D 
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of 

I'm afraid that I'm not
A                          Bm                   
sure of a love there is no cure for 
          A                                D 
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
          E                           A 
though it worries me to say that I've never felt this way

   Dm                                 A 
Believe me you really don't have to worry 
                       Dm                         G
I only wanna make you happy and if you say hey go away I will
                                  Dm
But I think better still I better stay around and love you
       C                          G                                     Dm
Do you think I have a case let me ask you to your face do you think you love me?


          G                   D                   G                   D
I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you, 
          G                   D                   G                   D
I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you, I think I love you...

Hot Rod Lincoln - Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen

N.C.
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln"

F G7 F C7

F
Have you heard this story of the hot rod race
         G7
When the Fords and Lincolns was setting the pace
     F
That story is true, I'm here to say
C7                       F
I was driving that Model A

           F
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
       G7
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
         F
It's got eight cylinders, and uses them all
         C7                       F
It's got overdrive, just won't stall

       F
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
       G7
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
           F
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
    C7                       F
The brakes are good, tyres fair

F
Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
    G7
The moon and the stars was shining bright
          F
We was driving up Grapevine Hill
C7                                     F
Passing cars like they was standing still

F G7 F C7

F
All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
    G7
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
           F
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
   C7                                      F
By then the tail light was all you could see

          F
Now the fellas was ribbing me for being behind
     G7
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
          F        
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
   C7                            F
I shoved it on down into overdrive

F
Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten
      G7
My speedometer said that I hit top end
     F
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
       C7                                F
That's all there is and there ain't no more

F
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
      G7
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
               F
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
    C7                                  F
The lines on the road just look like dots"

F
Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
G7
Crossed my fingers just for luck
     F
My fenders was clicking the guardrail posts
    C7                              F
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

F G7 F C7

F
Smoke was coming from out of the back
       G7
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
F
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
          C7                            F
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas

         F
We had flames coming from out of the side
         G7
Feel the tension, man, what a ride!
         F
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
         C7                             F
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

F
Now all of a sudden she started to knockin'
      G7
And down in the dips she started to rockin'
    F
I looked in my mirror - red light was blinkin'
      C7                            F
The cops was after my hot rod Lincoln

F
They arrested me and they put me in jail
      G7  
And called my pappy to throw my bail
                  F
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
         C7                                F
If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln!"
