Looking For An Echo

C     Am    F      G


[Verse 1]
   C              Am             
At daydream junior high school we
F            G7
 used to harmonize
C                  Am        F  
Me and Frankie and Jimmy and 
          G7
some Italian guy
F               G7         C    
We were singing oldies but they 
            Am
were newies then
    F                              
And today when I play my old 45's I
 G7
 remember when


[Verse 2]
C                 Am           F
We practiced in a subway, in a 
          G7
lobby or a hall
C            Am           
Crowded in a doorway singing 
    F               G7
"do-wops" to the wall
F                     G7         
And when we went to a party and 
    C               Am
they wouldn't let us sing
     F                             
We'd lock ourselves in the bathroom
        G7
 and nobody could get in

[Chorus]
G7             C              Am
'Cause we were looking for an 
      F             G7
echo an answer to our sound
  C              Am        F     
A place to be in harmony a place 
     G      C   Am    F    G7
we'd almost found       ooooh


[Bridge]
         F                         
And the girls would gather 'round 
           C                  C7
us and our heads would really swell
      F                          
We'd sing songs by the Moonglows, 
     C                 C7
the Harptones and the Dells
     F                        
And when we sang sincerely, we 
  C              Am
really sang it high
     F                        
Even though it was falsetto we 
                   G       G#
almost reached the sky


[Verse 3]
      Db           Bbm           
We've sung a lot of changes since
Gb              Ab7
 nineteen fifty five
      Db           Bbm             
And a lot of bad arrangements we've
Gb            Ab7
 tried to harmonise
    Gb                  Ab7        
Now they've turned into oldies but 
Db               Bbm
they were newies then
       Gb                          
And today when I play those old 
       Ab7       A
45's I remember when


[Chorus]
        D              Bm    
We were looking for an echo an 
  G             A7
answer to our sound
  D              Bm        G     
A place to be in harmony a place 
     A7     D    Bm    G7   A7
we'd almost found


{Outro]
        D              Bm    
We were looking for an echo an 
  G7            A7
answer to our sound
  D              Bm        G     
A place to be in harmony a place 
     A7     D    Bm    G7   A7
we'd almost found      oooooooh
D   Bm   G7  A7
Found    oooooooh
D   Bm   G7  A7
Found    oooooooh
D   Bm   G7  A7
Found    oooooooh
