Title: When A Boy Falls In Love
Composer: Cooke / Levert
Tabbed by: Martyn Buisman

I've [G] heard them say love was a wonderful thing
Something you couldn't hide on a [D7] shelf
But to [C] me they no longer [G] have to ex[Em]plain
Be[A7]cause I know for my[D] self

He a[G]wakens each morn with a smile on his face
[D7]When a boy is in love
And [C] the world to him is a beautiful place
[G] When a boy is in love [G7]
He's [C] up and he's gone
There's no [G] breakfast for him
'cause he [D7] lives on the love of his [G] sweet little gem
The [C] days's not through
though [G] it's not very long
Be[D7]fore he must talk to his [G]girl on the phone
[D7]That's how it is when a [C]boy falls in [G] love [D7]

His [G] girls voice on the phone brings him wondrous delight
[D7] When a boy is in love
If [C] there's been any darkness it all fades from sight
[G] When a boy is in love [G7]
He can [C] hardly wait 'till the [G] moment they meet
For [D7] he knows when he sees her
his [G] day will be complete

When they're [C] finally alone and he [G] kisses her lips
The [D7] world sings a love song and his [G] heart turns a flip
That's [C] how it is, when a [D7] boy falls in [G] love

At the [C] end of the day the time [G] comes they must part
The [D7] strains of regret tear [G] away at his heart
and [C] late in the night, as he [G] sleeps in his bed
Visions [C] of her sweet charms, how [G] they dance in his head
and [C] before you know, he is [G] buying a ring
To [D7] capture forever that [G] sweet darling thing
That's [C] how it is when a [D7] boy falls in [G] love
