"Do Ya" - the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
Jeff Lynne originally did this song with the Move in 1971, the same year ELO was
launched. The Move version is very similiar, but the lead is different.
The ELO version originally appeared on "A New World Record", but also appears
on "Greatest Hits", "Burning Bright", and "Strange Magic: the Best of ELO". An
alternative version also appears on "Flashback"; it has more leads than the original.
Jeff Lynne wrote the song.

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman
D        A                 G             A
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
D        A                    G           A
I've seen babies  dancing in the midnight sun
D         A                G                 A
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
D        A                   G           A
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sites
D         A                G              A
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides
G5 (pm)
But I..... never saw anything like you

D       A        G        A
D       A        G        A
Do ya do ya want my love (woman)
Do ya do ya want my face (I need it)
Do ya do ya want my mind (I'm sayin')
Do ya do ya want my love

       In the country where the sky touches down

       On the field, she lay her down to rest

       In the morning sun 
       D                             A
       They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
               Gsus4                  G

Chorus:
Do ya do ya want my love (woman)
Do ya do ya want my face (I need it)
Do ya do ya want my mind (I'm sayin')
Do ya do ya want my love

Verse:
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.

Chorus:
D       A        G        A      I don't know what Jeff is
Do ya do ya want my love         saying in the background vocals.
Do ya do ya want my face         It sounds like Amanda or Commander
Do ya do ya want my mind 
Do ya do ya want my love
Oh look out!
D                     F    G                   F  D
Do ya do ya want my love, do ya do ya want my love

That does it.
