Dm          A/C#
Way back in time
             Dm/C
Someone said try some
   Dm/B
I tried some
    Dm/A#         Dm/A
Now buy some - I bought some
   A7
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Gm        D/F#
After a while
            A#/F
When I had tried them
  C/E
Denied them
  Gm/D#     Gm/D
I opened my eyes and
  C#dim C
I saw you

Chorus:
F
Not a thing did I have
F                  F+
Not a thing did I see
                        A#m
'Till I called on your love
                      C#7
And your love came to me
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh

Through my life
I've seen grey sky,
Met big fry
Seen them die to get high
Ohhh
And when it seemed that
I would only be lonely
I opened my eyes and I saw you.

Chorus:
Not a thing did I feel
Not a thing did I know
Untill I called on your love
And your love sure did grow
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohhh

Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
Won't you try some
Baby won't you buy some
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ohhh
