Where I can speak my mind
Gm7/C Bbadd9
I've been trying hard to find the people
Ab9 Dm7/G G7-9
That I won't leave behind

They say I got brains
Dm7 Gm7 Dm7/G
But they ain't doin' me no good
G7-9
I wish they could
Cm7 Dm7/C Cm7 Dm7/C (chords implied by BG vocals)
Each time things start to happen again

I think I got something good goin' for myself but what goes wrong
Chorus:
Cm7/G /C F
Sometimes I feel very sad
Cm7/G /C F
Sometimes I feel very sad *

Sometimes I feel very sad *

I guess I just wasn't made for these times
Verse 2:
Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn
When my fair-weather friends cop out
What's it all about
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself and what goes wrong
(repeat chorus)
Theremin/winds break (arranged for four guitars):

* according to Mark Linett (Endless Summer Quarterly, 12/94), the
layered vocal parts on these lines are:
(lead vocal): Sometimes I feel very sad
Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into
People I know don't want to be where I'm at
O quando per e, un dia per e [Italian? Portuguese?]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
