Looking For An Echo

• C

INTRO:  C    Am    F    G7   
         

VERSE:
 
     C          Am              F            G7 
At Erasmus Hall high school we used to harmonize 
C                   Am       F           G7 
Me and Frankie and Adam and two Italian guys 
F                G7          C               Am 
We were singing oldies but they were newies then 
     F                                 G7 
And today when I play my old 45's I remember when 

VERSE:
 
     C             Am           F          G7 
We practiced in a subway, in a lobby or a hall 
C             Am              F              G7 
Crowded in a doorway singing do waps to the wall 
     F                G7            C               Am 
And if we went to a party and they wouldn't let us sing 
      F                                  G7 
We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom and nobody could get in 



G               C              Am      F             G7 
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
   C              Am        F           G      C  Am  F  G7 
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found   ooooh 


BRIDGE:
 
         F                  G7                 C                C7 
And the girls would gather 'round us and our heads would really swell 
      F                G7                C              C7 
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, the Harptones and the Dells 
     F                          C              Am 
And when we sang sincerely, we really sang it high 
      D7                        F                   G  Ab7 
Even though it was falsetto we almost reached the sky 


VERSE:
 
       C#           Bbm           F# Ab7 
We've sung a lot of changes since 19 55 
       C#          Bbm               F#           Ab7 
And a lot of bad arrangements we've tried to harmonise 
     F#                 Ab7         C#               Bbm 
Now they've turned into oldies but they were newies then  
      F#                                   Ab7       A7 
And today when I play those old 45's I remember when 


 
                 D            Bm      G              A7 
'Cause we were looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
   D             Bm         G          A7      
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost ...  
 D              Bm      G7           A7 
looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
  D              Bm         G          A7      
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost ... 
 D              Bm      G7           A7 
looking for an echo an answer to our sound 
  D              Bm         G          A7     D 
A place to be in harmony a place we'd almost found
