This song was released in 1975 as the B-side of
the "Knockin on Heaven's Door" single. It's now
available on the Crossroads box set. This is a
fairly mellow tune written by Arthur Louis.


 Intro: G  G  C  D  G

Verse 1:

G         Am
I got up this morning and fell out of bed
D     G
Trying to make it to the door
Am
The wind was high, I didn't have much time
D   G      D
Trying to find a man to score
Em            Am
And then you came up on the other side
D                 G
To brighten up my day
Am
I knew right away
D         G    C   D
That this could be my day


Chorus:

G             Am
Someone like you
D     G   C   D
Could make me change my ways
G       Am
Someone like you
D     G   C   D
Could turn my nights into days


Verse 2:

G    Am
There you were, standing
D               G
On a crowded street
Am
You looked so good, though the air was bad
D      G    C    D
Walking through the fog


Chorus:

G             Am
Someone like you
D     G   C   D
Could make me change my ways
G       Am
Someone like you
D     G   C   D
Could turn my nights into days

Em        C
I want to thank you, thank you now
D    G    C   D
For getting me back on my feet again

I want to thank you, thank you now
D    G    C   D
For getting me back on my feet again

Someone like you

Someone like you

Someone like you

Could turn my nights into days
