...ICE COLD DAYDREAM... by Shuggie Otis -----------------------................
*from 'Freedom Flight' (1971)*
Intro:
E7
Verse 1:
B7 I looked at you, girl, I saw a smile, For my love, you said you'd walk a mile. Today I see your face; you wear a frown, Now you're telling me that I'm a clown.
Chorus 1:
E7 What's the reason, for this sudden change? I never thought, you'd act so strange.
Verse 2:
B7 You say that I'm a boy and we should part, So you can go and make a brand new start. You laughed at me and then I almost cried, You hurt my heart so bad, I had to hide.
Chorus 2:
E7 What's the reason, for this sudden change? I never thought, you'd act so strange.
Interlude:
A7,
B7
Solo:

Verse 3:
B7 I'm gettin' tired of listenin' to you talk, I think I'll go outside and take a walk. Took my guitar and got up off the floor, I must have dozed off while you were next door.
Solo:
B7
Verse 4:
B7 My mind's at ease now, I know that you're on my side. That ice cold daydream, took me for an ugly ride.
Outro:
