This song was released in 1975 as the B-side of
the "Knockin on Heaven's Door" single. It's now
available on the Crossroads box set. This is a
fairly mellow tune written by Arthur Louis.
 

Intro: G  G  C  D  G

Verse 1:

G                      Am
I got up this morning and fell out of bed
D                         G
Trying to make it to the door
                        Am
The wind was high, I didn't have much time
D                       G      D
Trying to find a man to score
Em                        Am
And then you came up on the other side
D                 G
To brighten up my day
        Am
I knew right away
D                      G    C   D
That this could be my day
 

Chorus:

G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could make me change my ways
G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could turn my nights into days
 

Verse 2:

G                 Am
There you were, standing
D               G
On a crowded street
                           Am
You looked so good, though the air was bad
D                   G    C    D
Walking through the fog
 

Chorus:

G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could make me change my ways
G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
Could turn my nights into days

I want to thank you, thank you now

For getting me back on my feet again

I want to thank you, thank you now
D                               G    C   D
For getting me back on my feet again
 

Chorus:

G             Am
Someone like you
D                         G   C   D
