#5 in UK, #69 in Australia and #130 in USA in 1967. (It deserved much better.) INTRO: C G Em D CHORUS:
Gm                            F                 Eb
Something's gotten hold of my heart..keeping my soul 

       D7      Gm
and my senses apart.

Gm                         F                 Eb
Something's gotten into my life, cutting its way through 

   D7            Gm
my dreams like a knife..

F           Eb      D7         Gm   F           Eb
turning me up, and turning me down, making me smile

    D7         Gm
and making me frown.
#1.
Gm                  F                        Bb
In a world that was small, I once lived in a time

         Eb            D7          Gm
that was peace, and no troubles at all.

Gm                   F                   Gm
But then you came my way and a feeling unknown,

         F              C7          F
shook my heart, made me want you to stay..

C7        F          C7        Eb        D7
All of my nights and all of my days.
CHORUS:#2.
Gm                            F                 Eb
Something's gotten hold of my hand, dragging my soul 

     D7        Gm
to a beautiful land.

Gm                              F
Yeah, something has invaded my night..

            Eb           D7        Gm7
painting my sleep with a colour so bright..

F            Eb        D7           Gm7
changing the gray, and changing the blue..

F           Eb      D7          Gm
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you.
(INTERLUDE:) C G Em A BRIDGE:

I got to know if this is the real thing,

A7                                           D     D9
I got to know what's making my heart sing, whoaaa, yeahhh.

    D7                                       D9
You smile and I am lost for a lifetime, each minute spent 

                D7
with you is the right time..every hour, every day, you

D9              D7                         D9    D7
touch me and my mind goes astrayyyy, yeah, baby, baby!
