                          Mandy - Barry Manilow
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Written by: Scott English/Richard Kerr
From: "Barry Manilow II" (1974)
 
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
 
It's not easy to find out the exact chords because often piano and orchestra
play different phrases thus creating multi-layered chords. This is what I
came up with for guitar. Further suggestions or corrections are highly
welcome!
 
Capo: 1st fret
Play: A
Key: Bb
 
For chords in original key transpose +1 (and "use flats")

[Verse 1]
Asus2             E/A
I remember all my life
Asus2           A       E/A
Raining down as cold as ice
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm
Shadows of a man,
  Bm/A                  Gmaj7
A face through a window crying in the night
    D/E
The night goes into ...
 
[Verse 2]
Asus2         A      E/A
Morning just another day
Asus2        A       E/A
Happy people pass my way
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                      Bm/A
Looking in their eyes I see a memory
  Gmaj7              D/E
I never realized how happy you made me
 
[Chorus]
   A
Oh, Mandy, well
    F#m          D            E
You came and you gave without taking,
      D/E
But I sent you away
    A
Oh, Mandy, well
    F#m           D               E
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking,
      D/E
And I need you today
    [ A ]
Oh, Mandy!
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
    Asus2                   E/A
I'm standing on the edge of time
     Asus2             A       E/A
I've walked away when love was mine
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                      Bm/A
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
    Gmaj7                    D/E
The tears are in my mind and nothin' is rhyming
 
[Chorus]
    A
Oh, Mandy, well
    F#m          D            E
You came and you gave without taking
      D/E
But I sent you away
    A
Oh, Mandy, well
    F#m           D               E
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
      D/E
And I need you today
    [ F#m ]
Oh, Mandy!

Bm                     Bm/A
Yesterday's a dream, I face the morning
Gmaj7                   D/E
Crying on a breeze, the pain is calling
 
[Chorus]
    A
Oh, Mandy, well
    F#m          D            E
You came and you gave without taking
