Subject: ADD: Hey What About Me (Scott McKenzie)
It'll take a little typing, but I can't resist. An old favorite of mine!

HEY, WHAT ABOUT ME?
(Scott McKenzie)

Chorus:
Hey ---- What about me?
I've got some feelin's on my mind, too.
Hey ---- What about me?
I'd like to have a song to sing, too.

Well, it's gettin' mighty cold on this lonesome old street,
And I don't know the faces of anyone I meet.
But your faces look so happy when you sing,
Please let me in, I've got one more face to bring.

Please let me in where you're singing your songs
And I'll just sit quiet, I won't try to sing along.
You've got the warmest place that I've ever found
Please let me in and I won't make a sound.

But if you should ask me to give you a song
I won't know the words to use, I won't know where they belong
But if you give me one of yours I will make it my own
And it will be the sweetest song that I've ever known.

Chords for the chorus: (G,D,C -all on the word Hey - G)
(G, A7, D7) (G,D,C -again on the word Hey - G) (G, Bm, C, D, G).

Chords for the verses: (G, D, C, G) (G, Bm, C, D) (G, D, C, G) (G, Bm, C, D, G)


Talk about a folk circle song...
