  Hey.  This is Frank again.  I am still 13, and I still love The Beatles and the
Grateful Dead.  Anyway, here is (Just Like) Starting Over, from John Lennon and Yoko
Ono's 1980 release, Double Fantasy.  Hope you like it.

      A        A+           F#/A         A+
  Our life, together, is so precious, together,
         A   E7         A     E7
we have grown, we have grown.
                A             A+       F#/A
  Although our love, is still special,
 A7                          D/A      Dm/A     A
let's take a chance and fly away, somewhere alone.

        A
  It's been too long since we took the time,
    A+                                    Bm        E
No one's to blame.  I know time flies so quickly.
Bm            E
  But, when I see you darlin',
C#m             F#                  Bm                E
  It's like we both are fallin' in love, again, it'll be,
                     A    A+         A      A+
  just like starting over.  Starting over.

         A
  Every day we used to make it, love.
 A+                                   Bm       E
Why can't we be makin' love, nice and easy?
Bm              E
  It's time to spread our wings and,
C#m               F#           Bm                 E
fly.  Don't let another day go by, my love, it'll be,
                     A   A+          A     G
  just like starting over.  Starting over.

G                        Am
  Why don't we take off alone,
D7                         G     
  take a trip somewhere far, far away.
Em                        Am
  We'll be together all alone, again,
D7                           G         E           D/F#   E/G#
  like we used to be in the early days.  Well, well dar - lin'

        A
  It's been too long since we took the time,
    A+                                    Bm       E
No one's to blame.  I know time flies so quickly.
Bm            E
  But, when I see you darlin'
C#m             F#                  Bm                E
  It's like we both are falling in love, again, it'll be
                     A   A+          A      A+
  just like starting over.  Starting over.

       A       A+            F#/A       A+
  Our life, together, is so precious, together,
         A   E7         A      E7
we have grown, we have grown.
                A               A+      F#/A
  Although our love, is still special,
 A7                         D/A       Dm/A
let's take a chance and fly away, somewhere...
  A and A+ repeat and fade out.
 
There you have it.  This is not that difficult, and it's a great song.  So, hope you enjoy.  FRANK MINELLA.
