If You Know What I Mean - Neil Diamond.
I'm amazed that this great Diamond song hasn't been previously tabbed before here.
This is my interpretation and may not reflect the actual recording.
(Capo 2)
Eb x65343
[Intro]
C C/B Am F G G7
[Verse]
C G7 C
When the night returns just like a friend
F G7 C
When the evening comes to set me free
F G7
When the quiet hours that wait
Am Em F C F
Beyond the day make
Dm7 G G6 G7
Peaceful sounds in me
[Verse]
C G7 C
Took a drag from my last cigarette
F G7 C
Took a drink from a glass of old wine
F G7
I closed my eyes and I could
Am Em F C
Make it real and
F Dm7 G7
Feel it one more time
[Pre-chorus]
Am
Can you hear it Babe? (Riff 1)
G7
Can you hear it Babe? (Riff 2)
F C
From another time From another place
G G7 G
Do you remember it Babe?
[Chorus]
C Dm7
And the radio played like a carnival tune
C
As we lay in our bed in the other room
F
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade
G C Eb Dm C
If you know what I mean.................If you know what I mean Babe...
C F C
[Verse]
C G7 C C/G
Here's to the songs we used to sing
F G7 C C/G
and here's to the times we used to know
F G7
It's hard to hold them
Am Em F C F
In our arms again but
F Dm7 G7
Hard to let them go.
[Pre-chorus]
Am
Do you hear it Babe? (Riff 1)
G7
Do you hear it Babe? (Riff 2)
F C
It was another time It was another place
G G7 G G7 G G7 G
Do you remember it Babe?
[Chorus]
C Dm7
And the radio played like a carnival tune
C
As we lay in our bed in the other room
F
When we gave it away for the sake of a dream
In a penny arcade
G C
If you know what I mean
[Outro]
F C
If you know what I mean
F C
If you know what I mean
F C Eb Dm C
If you know what I mean Babe
