Barry Manilow-Mandy - BPM - 99

[Verse 1 - No drums - freeform-ish]
I [A] remember [Amaj7] all my [A] life
[A] Raining down as [Amaj7] cold as [A] ice
[Bm] Shadows of a man
[Bm] Face through a window
[G] Crying in the night
The [E7] night goes [E] in [E7] to

[Verse 2] 
[A] Morning, just a [Amaj7] nother [A] day
[A] Happy people [Amaj7] pass my [A] way
[Bm] Looking in their eyes
I [Bm] see a memory
I [G] never realized
How [E7] happy you [E] made [E7] me
 
[Chorus - Full drums]
Oh, [A] Mandy
Well, you [F#m] came and you [D] gave without [E] taking
But I [E7] sent you a [E] way
Oh, [A] Mandy
Well, you [F#m] kissed me and [D] stopped me from [E] shaking
And I [E7] need you to [E] day, oh [A] Mandy
 
[Interlude - half bar each chord- drums stop]
[A] [F#m] [D] ([E] [E7])
 
[Verse 3 - Drums back in]
I'm [A] standing on the [Amaj7] edge of [A] time
I [A] walked away when [Amaj7] love was [A] mine
[Bm] Caught up in a world
Of [Bm] uphill climbing
[G] Tears are in my mind
And [E7] nothing is [E] rhy [E7] ming

[Chorus] 
Oh, [A] Mandy 
Well, you [F#m] came and you [D] gave without [E] taking
But I [E7] sent you a [E] way
Oh, [A] Mandy
Well, you [F#m] kissed me and [D] stopped me from [E] shaking
And I [E7] need you to [E] day, oh Mandy

[Interlude] 
[F#m] [C#m] [D] [Bm] 
[E] [E]
 
[Semi Verse]
[Bm] Yesterday's a dream, 
I [Bm] face the morning
[G] Crying on a breeze, 
the [E7] pain is [E] call [E7] ing
 
[Chorus] 
Oh, [A] Mandy
Well, you [F#m] came and you [D] gave without [E] taking
But I [E7] sent you a [E] way
Oh, [A] Mandy
Well, you [F#m] kissed me and [D] stopped me from [E] shaking
And I [E7] need you to [E] day, oh [B] Mandy (key change)
Well, you [G#m] came and you [E] gave without [F#7] taking
But I [F#] sent you away
Oh, [B] Mandy
Well, you [G#m] kissed me and [E] stopped me from [F#7] shaking
And I [F#] need [B] you . . .
