Looking for the chords and lyrics to a J.D. Loudermilk song called "Turn me on" or "You turn me on." I have a version by Nina Simone but need some help with the chords. Thanks.

Is this the same song done a donkey's age ago by that well-known folk act, Emerson, Lake and Palmer?

TURN ME ON
John D. Loudermilk
©1961 Acuff-Rose Publ. Inc.

Like a flower waiting to bloom,
Like a light bulb in a darkened room,
I’m just sitting here waiting for you to come on home
And turn me on.

Like the desert waiting for the rain,
Like a school kid waiting for the spring,
I’m just sitting here waiting for you to come on home
And turn me on.

My poor heart, it's been so dark since you've been gone.
After all, you're the one who turns me off.
You're the only one who can turn me back on.

My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune.
My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes.
I'm just sitting here waiting for you to come on home
And turn me on.
Turn me on.

[Recorded by Nina Simone (1966), Norah Jones (2000), and a few others.]
