The Carpenters were an American vocal and instrumental duo consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. With their light, airy melodies and meticulously crafted, clean arrangements, the duo stood in direct contrast with the excessive, gaudy pop/rock of the '70s; yet they became one of the most popular artists of the decade, scoring 12 Top Ten hits, including three number one singles.
Karen Carpenter's calm, often somber voice was the most distinctive element of their music
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
[Verse 1] AEDA Such a feelin's comin' over me C#mBmAA7 There is wonder in most everything I see DE Not a cloud in the sky C#mF#m Got the sun in my eyes BmDmEE7 And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
[Verse 2] AEDA Everything I want the world to be C#mBmAA7 Is now coming true especially for me DE And the reason is clear C#mF#m It's because you are here BmDmEEsus4 You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
[Chorus] AD I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation ABmAA7 And the only explanation I can find DEAD Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around AEA Your love's put me at the top of the world
[Verse 3] AEDA Something in the wind has learned my name C#mBmAA7 And it's tellin' me that things are not the same DE In the leaves on the trees C#mF#m And the touch of the breeze BmDmEE7 There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
[Verse 4] AEDA There is only one wish on my mind C#mBmAA7 When this day is through I hope that I will find DE That tomorrow will be C#mF#m Just the same for you and me BmDmEEsus4 All I need will be mine if you are here
[Chorus] AD I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation ABmAA7 And the only explanation I can find DEAD Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around AEA Your love's put me at the top of the world
Note: There are some details I can't do here but:
1) The intro is similar to the chorus. 2) In the verses 2nd Bm's lift middle finger on/off to make Bsus2. 3) On the Dm's lift ring finger on/off to make Dm6. 4) Esus4 seems to make more sense then E7 right before chorus. 5) And some of the Bm's are Bm7's and the same for some of the F#m's ?
