 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers

According to the booklet accompanying the Hollies' 30th Anniversary set,
 this (the B-side to 'Look Through Any Window') is a rewrite of the first
 song Graham Nash and Allan Clarke wrote together.  Maybe that's why it's
 so inconsistent about who 'you' refers to - the ex-girlfriend's new lover
 in the 1st and 3rd verses vs. the ex-girlfriend herself in the chorus, 2nd
 verse, and bridge.  It's one of my Hollies faveraves anyway...AWR
