Chords for Sometimes- The Carpenters (1973)

_ _ _ _ I heard something [B] recently that I found rather touching. _ _
It's a true story.
It concerns Karen and Richard and a song called [Bm] Sometimes. _ _
Can you tell us how that song was written?
Well, Henry Mancini has a daughter [G] named Felice and a couple of years [Bm] ago
she wanted to give her parents something kind of special for Christmas.
And rather than just go out and buy them [G] something, she decided to write her a [E] poem. _ _
Concerns are [G] feelings for friend and family.
[Bm] Right.
And when she wrote it, it wasn't supposed to [B] be clever or profound or [E] anything.
She just wanted to be honest.
[B] And her [N] father liked it so much when he heard it that he set it to music.
And we liked it so much that we recorded it.
But the song really [Em] has such a nice [B] theme that we'd like to share it with you.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
