One of the Great Lost Bands of the 70's. Zuider Zee was led by the amazing
Richard Orange and deeply influenced by the Beatles. Paul McCartney wishes
he could write song like this one.

A
I wish you'd never blown out the candle
G
Wish you'd never turned out the light
E
it didn't help me see
Bm
it didn't help me fight
E Bm D
and it put a waking sleep in my night (sleep in my night)
A
Why'd you come here from Dallas?
G E
Memphis couldn't offer a thing that you don't already have
Bm
and you can't even sing
F#m D F#m D
and you were looking for a husband and you would've chose me if I was one
Bm E A
and the whole world knows it I know that you know it too
A E D
Why don't you ever listen to the words
A E D
why don't you ever listen to the words
A E D
it's the stuff in the middle I know you've never heard
E A
now that you're still in specifics
E A
I don't want to push too fast
E A G#
I'm only concerned with happiness and that's not too much to ask
A
wish you'd
wish you'd never covered my threshold
G
wish you'd never stood in my door
E Bm
it didn't help me much and it hurt me more
E Bm
you could have let me know before
E A
well the whole world knew it you must have had some idea
