to my two song repertoire

was gonna be a star
Bought all the Beatle records,
F

sounded just like Paul

just one step behind you

' seemed like the year I was

really goin' somewhere

We were living in San Francisco,
F

the world would understand

But the guys and me were something
more than just another band
And then ' in LA, came
around so soon
We were really making headway

And we must have played the wildest stuff we

had ever played
The way the crowds cried out for us, we
thought we had it made

seemed to understand
