SHOW ME THE WAY
By: Peter Frampton
Key: D

-3-6* -6*  6   -5   -4  -3 
I won-der how your feel-ing 
  -3     -5  -5  6  -6* -6*
There's ring-ing in my ears 
 6  -5 -5  -5  6  -6* -5  -6*  -5  -5
And no one to re-late to 'cept the sea 
-6* -6* 6 -5  -4   -3
Who can I be-lieve in 
-3   -5   -5  6  -6*  -6*  
I'm kneel-ing on the floor 
  6   -5  -5 -5 6  -6*  -6* 6 -6  -5
There has to be a force who do I phone
-5    6   -5   6  -5  -6*   6
The stars are out and shin-ing, 
-5  -5  6  -6  6   -5  -6 6 -5
but all I real-ly want to know

-5 6 -5 -6*6-56-4 -6*  6  -6* -5-4
Oh won't   you    show me the  way 
-5 6-5 -6*6-56-56-5 -6* 6  -6*-5-4-3 
I want    you ...  show me the way 
 -5  -6*-6*  6  -5 -4  -3
Well, I can see no rea-son
-3  -5  -5  6   -6*  -6* 
You liv-ing on your nerves 
 6    -5  -5    -5  6 -6* -5  6 -6   -5
When some-one drops a cup and I sub-merge 
-5   -6* -6*  6 -5 -4  -3
I'm swim-ming in a cir-cle 
-3 -5  -5  6  -6* -6*
I feel I'm go-ing down 
  6   -5  -5 -5 6  -6* -6* -5  -6  -5
There has to be a fool to play my part 
 6   -5     6    -5  -6*  6
some-one thought of heal-ing, 
 6  -5  6  -6  6   -5  -6  6
but all I real-ly want to know.

-5 6 -5 -6*6-56-4 -6*  6  -6* -5-4
Oh won't   you    show me the  way 
-5 6-5 -6*6-56-56-5 -6* 6  -6*-5-4-3 
I want    you ...  show me the way
-5 6-5 -6*6-56-56-5-4 -6* 6  -6* -5
I want      you       day af-ter day 
-5 -6* -6* 6  -5   -4   -3
I  won-der if I'm dream-ing 
-3 -5  -5 6 -6* -6*
I feel so un-a-shamed 
6  -5   -5  -5    6  -6* -6* -5  -5 -6*  6 
I can't be-lieve this is hap-pen-ing to me 
-5  6   -5   6     -5    -6*   6
I watch you when you're sleep-ing,
-5   -5  6  -6  6   -5   -6* 6 -5
and then I want to take your love 

-5  6 -5 -6*6-56-4 -6*  6  -6* -5
Oh  won't   you    show me the way 

-5 6-5 -6*6-56-5 -6*  6  -6* -5-4-3
I want    you ...show me  the way 
-5 6-5 -6*6-56-56-5 -6* 6  -6* -5
I want     you      day af-ter day 

-5  6 -5 -6*6-56-4 -6*  6  -6* -5
Oh  won't   you    show me the way 
-5 6-5 -6*6-56-5 -6*  6  -6* -5-4-3
I want    you ...show me  the way 
-5 6-5 -6*6-56-56-5 -6* 6  -6* -5
I want     you      day af-ter day
