Lyrics from http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/S-o-j-a/By-My-Side.html Chords used: Gm, F, Bb, Cm Reggae skank: Play on the off beat (play on the +) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 Verse (half measure or 2 reggae skanks per chord): Gm F Bb Cm I act like I left her, but I really beg her to stay. And the more that I press her is the more she slips away. Act like I don't need her but...Yo, you're necessary... Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I sleep. Gm F Bb Cm Act like I can hear, but Jah knows I'm deaf. Act like I can see but now, yo, from me sight has left. Act like I don't know but, I know these things... Act like I don't feel it but I'm gonna feel it, every morning now on Chorus (one measure or four reggae skanks per chord): Gm Bb Each morning, on each night Cm F when I need you by my side on each morning and on each night when I need you Like I don't care but each and every time your face comes across it never ever leaves my mind. Oh, like I don't know but...I know your thing like I don't feel it, but I'm gonna feel it every evening now on - Each morning, on each night when I need you by my side on each morning and on each night when I need you N.C. (maybe an Bb to Cm if anything) I act like I left her, but the truth is I beg her, beg her to stay... Gm F Bb Cm And the more that I press her, means all the more that she slips away. Act like I don't need her, but I'm here to tell you that you're necessary. Like ten days from now I won't see your face when I'm on - Each morning, on each night when I need you by my side on each morning and on each night when I need you by my side. - On each morning and on each night when I need you so desperately.
