Don McLean is best known for his songs "American Pie" and "Vincent," but he wrote a lot of other great songs. Along with "Dreidel," I love this song from his third album, "Don McLean." Hope you like my rendition.

intro: G Gmaj7 Em7 / Gmaj7 Em7 Gmaj7 Em7
[G] When I [Gmaj7] see you [Em7] on the street
I [Gmaj7] lose my concen[Em7]tration [ Gmaj7 Em7 ]
[G] Just the [Gmaj7] thought that [Em7] we might meet
cre[Gmaj7]ates antici[Em7]pation [ Gmaj7 Em7 ]

Won’t you [F] look my way once be[C]fore you go
and my [F] eyes will say what you [Am] oughta know
Well I’ve been [Gm7] thinking about you day & [C] night
and I don’t [Gm7] know if it’ll work out [C] right
But some[Gm7]how I think that it just [C] might
if we [F] try [ Cm D ]

[G] Faces [Gmaj7] come and [Em7] faces go
in [Gmaj7] circular ro[Em7]tation[ Gmaj7 Em7 ]
But [G] something [Gmaj7] yearns with[Em7]in to grow
be[Gmaj7]yond infatu[Em7]ation [ Gmaj7 Em7 ]
Won’t you [F] look my way once be[C]fore you go
and my [F] eyes will say what you [Am] oughta know
Well you’ve [Gm7] got me standing deaf and [C] blind
‘cuz I see [Gm7] love as just a state of [C] mind
And who knows [Gm7] what it is that we might [C] find
if we [F] try

[ F - Gm – Ab ]
You’re walking a [Gm7] different direction from
[Ab] most people I’ve [Gm7] met
[Gm] You’re giving me [C] signs of affection I [Gm] don’t usually [C] get
[Gm] I don’t want you to [Am] pledge your future
the [Gm] future’s not yours to [F] give
[Dm] Just stand there a little longer
and [Gm7]let me watch while you [Gm] live [D7]

[ G Gmaj7 Em7 / Gmaj7 Em7 Gmaj7 Em7 ]
