Just a Little Loving (Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil)
This is my attempt at the arrangement on Dusty in Memphis, and is in the correct
key. I am surprised there was not already a tab available on the net.
Intro
Strings: Cm7 Fm7 Cm7 Fm7
Verse 1
Cm7 Fm7 Gm7 Fm7
Just a little loving , early in the morning
Cm7 Fm7 Gm7 Am7
beats a cup of coffee for starting off the day
Abmaj7 Gm7 Abmaj7 Gm7
just a little loving when the world is dawning
Abmaj7 Gm7
makes you wake up feeling happy ,
Fm7 Fm7/Bb Eb
a good day is coming your way.
Chorus
Bb F# Bmaj7 Fm7 Bb7
This whole world would not be half as bad,
Ebm7 Ab7 Dbm7 Bb7sus4
it would not be half as sad if each and everybody in it had.
Verse 2
just a little loving, early in the morning
then a little something extra
to kinda see them through
nothing turns a day on, really gets it dawning
like a little bit of loving from someone from someone like you.
