  			Someone Else's Boy:Connie Francis. 
This song was the B side of  
Breaking In A Brand New Broken Heart. 
Didn't go far in the USA but  
hit #1 in several European countries in '61. 

INTRO: ***(Capo first fret and you'll be 
in the song's original key.) 
G    Em C   D 
Oh, my oh, whoa, whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa. 
G   Em  C   D 
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa.  

#1.  
G           Em     C        D 
In the lonely night, I wake up to find, 
G           Em  C         D 
someone else's boy, always on my mind. 
G            Em     C           D     G  Em 
But he doesn't know how much I really love him soo..ooo, 
C   D 
whoa, whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa. 
#2. 
G             Em   C     D 
Though it isn't right, when, I dream like this, 
  G              Em         C        D 
I long to hold him tight, and to taste his kiss, 
    G            Em      C            D      G  C  G G7 
and then I wake to find he's someone else's boy, not mine. 

Chorus: 
    C    D        G      G7 
Whenever I see them together,  
C          D           G  G7 
it breaks my poor heart in two. 
  C      D         G                        
I know that I should forget him,  
      A               A7      D 
cause he's her guy, but what can I do ? 
D7 
Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa. 
#3. 
G            Em  C    D 
How I hope and pray, to the Lord above, 
G               Em C     D 
to send me down a boy, one that I can love, 
G            Em       C         D    G   C G G7 
who'll be mine alone, and not someone else's boy.     

Chorus: 
REPEAT#3. 
ADD:  
C   D 
whoa, whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa. 
G   Em  C     D 
Whoa, whoa, whoa...whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa. 
G   Em  C    D                   G 
Whoa, whoa, whoa...whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa... 

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
