[Dm] This is just a little [C#] samba [Cm] built upon one [F#m] single note.
[Dm] Other notes are bound [C#] to follow, but [Cm] the root is still [C#] this note.
[G#] Now this new one is [Fm] the [G#] consequence [G] of the ones we've [F#] just been through,
[D] as I'm bound to be [C#m] the [Cm] unavoidable [F] consequence [A#] of you.
[D#m] There's so many [C#] people who can talk and [B] talk and talk [G#] and just say [Fm] nothing, or nearly [G#] nothing.
[C#m] I have used up all the skill I know and [B] at the end have come to nothing, or [Cm] nearly [A] nothing.
[Dm] So I come back [C#m] to you, [G#m] [Cm] as I must come back to [F#m] you.
[B] [D] I will pour into [C#] this one note [Cm] all the love I feel for [G#] you.
There are those who want [G] the whole show, though Remy [F#] Fawlati doe.
He [D] will find himself with [C#] no show, [G] better play the [C#] note [A#] you know.
