Once more you'll disappear

My morning put to shame

F                     Bbmin/F            C
Sometimes I feel that this will go on my life through
F                      Bbmin/F           C
Each day I spend is an echoing vision of you
Bb/C                C
And then again I'll turn down love
Bb/C             C
Remembering your smile
Bb/C     C
My every day is spent
Bb/C                    C
thinking of you all the while
 
      Bb/C            C
Times I've let myself down
   Bb/C            C
My head's spinning round
   F        C11 C7b5 Fmaj7
My eyes see on  ly   you
    E11          E7b5
The chances I've lost 
     Amin7    Amin6   C11              C9
Opportunities tossed away and into the blue
 
F                       Bbm/F              C
You take away the breath I was keeping for sunrise
F                     Bbm/F                 C
You appear and the morning looks drab in my eyes
    Bb/C            C
And then again I'll turn down love
Bb/C             C
Having seen you again
Bb/C                  C
And then again you'll disappear
Bb/C              C
My morning put to shame

No Picture Guitar FrE@k Average	#1 by Guitar FrE@k Freak at Dec 26, 1972 at 3:47 AM EST
	Adn then Again I'll turn the love down. I love this song one of my fouvourite Who's songs. Las dos guitarras son exquisitas, la letra y las voces. Sacre blue. Pete es todo un genio.

No Picture Daniel Average	#2 by Daniel Johnson at Apr 25, 1976 at 5:27 PM EST
	this song is amazing its beautiful

No Picture Jordan Average	#3 by Jordan S. at Feb 27, 2006 at 6:46 PM EST
	Wow, this song has no comments. It is so beautiful. You cannot describe his feelings, but you can hear it in his singing.

No Picture Francesco Lead Player	#4 by Francesco DeVito at May 28, 2006 at 1:28 PM EST
	Maybe about an old flame he is still in love with, he allways sees her back about the time things are going good with another person, and realises he wants the old flame more than the new girl. Then when he persues the old flame again things don't work out the way he wanted and he's feeling sorry for himself realising he could have been having a very good relationship with the new girl.
