The words written with the tab is a guide line to
where they're supposed to be sung, but it's not very accurate.
The best thing is to listen to the song I you don't know
how it goes.
Questions and comments welcome.

"How Can I Tell You" (Cat Stevens)
intro: Em A D G
[Em]How can I tel[A]l you that I lov[D]e [G] y[D]ou[G], I lov[Em]e yo[A]u
But I [D]can't [G]think of [D]right words to [G]say
[Em]I long to tell y[A]ou that I am alw[D]ay[G]s thi[D]nking of [G]you,
I'm [Em]always thinking of [A]you,
But my [D]words [G]just b[D]low away[G], [D] [G] j[D]ust blow [G]away
It [Em]always ends up to one[A] thing, honey,
And I [D]can't [G]think [D]of right words to [G]say. [Em] [A]
2.)
Wherever I am, girl,
I am always walking with you,
I am always walking with you,
But I look and you're not there,
Whoever I'm with I'm always,
I'm always talking to you,
I'm always talking to you,
And I'm sad that you can't hear,
Sad that you can't hear,
It always adds up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there.
Em A D G D G (repeat 4 times)
3.)
I need to know you,
Need to feel my arms around you,
Feel my arms surround you,
Like sea around a shore,
And each night and day I pray in hope that I might find you,
In hope that I might find you,
Because hearts can do no more,
Can do no more.
It always adds up to one thing, honey,
Still I kneel upon the floor.
[Em] [A] [D] [G]
repeat 1.) and end with: Em A D
