Looking For An Echo

Tom: C

C               Am                  F              G
On the seefront down at Brighton we used to harmonize
C              Am       F                    G
Me, Griff and Johnny, Slick and some other guys
F               G           C                 Am
We were singing oldies, but they were goodies then
     F                    F                 G
And today when I play my old 45’s I remember when

C                    Am        F                     G
We practiced in the backroom, down in the old saint Louis hall
C                  Am       F                      G
Crowding under the arches, singing doo-waps to the wall
F                      G         C                  Am
And when we played at Richmond, we’d really pack’em in
        F                     F                        G
And the people would travel from miles around, just to hear The Razors sing

G               C             Am       F              G
'Cause we were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
   C              Am
A place to be in harmony
   F       G       C    Am F G
A place we almost found.

      F                                C
We forget the world around us when we sang old “Chapel Bells"
      F                                C
We’d sing songs by The Moonglows, The Harptones and The Dells
     F                                  C                 Am
And when we sang “Sincerely", we would sing with all our might
     F                                                         G   G7    G#
Even though the town was sleeping, we’d break the still of the night

C#                    A#m            F#            G#
We’ve seen a lot of changes since when we first begin
C#                     A#m              F#                 G#
We’ve gone our separate ways now, even sung with some old bands
           F#         G#             C#             A#m
Now we’ve turned into oldies, but we were goodies then
       F#                 F#                   G#    A
And today when I play my old 45’s I remember when

A        D              Bm      G              A
We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
   D              Bm
A place to be in harmony
   G        A      D   Bm G A
A place we almost found.

A        D              Bm      G              A
We were looking for an echo, an answer to our sound
   D              Bm
A place to be in harmony
   G        A      D   Bm G A
A place we almost found.
