Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

there are two guitars on the record, but when I saw the Raspberries

on TV, Wally Bryson combined both parts into one):

Intro riff 1 [4X]:

The authentic way (according to

The easy way: Raspberries biographer Ken Sharp,

who learned it from Wally Bryson):

[^ let ring (3rd, 4th time only)]

Intro riff 2 [3X:]

[^ let ring]

Verse 1

I never knew how complete life could be

/ -5

Til' she kissed me and said, baby

Chorus

Please (baby) go all the way

It feels so right (feels so right)

Being with you here tonight

Please (baby) go all the way

Just hold me close (hold me close)

[1: 2, 3: ]

Don't ever let me go

(don't let me go)

Verse 2

I couldn't say what I wanted to say

'Til she whispered, "I love you" so

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro riff #1 (2X)]

Bridge

[ variants as per Riff 2]

Before her love I was cruel and mean

I had a hole in the place where my heart should've been

Now I'm changed and it feels so strange

I come alive when she says all those things to me

And she says

(Come on) come on

(Come on) come on

I need you (come on)

I love you (come on)

I need you (come on)

[repeat chorus]
