YER POSSESSED by GORD DOWNIE
Probably in Bb but A is fine and easier...
CAPO on 1 and play in the Key of A if you want. 
INTRO:  D   E  A  
A"Go home. I'd be surprised 
If you could find it with A7those eyes." 
D"Ah, go ahead and get hit by a bAus." 
DIt was the look in your eyes 
EWhen you said somethE7ing like 
A"It's just us." ("It's just us.") 
Tears streaming down my cheeks,
"Just take me down to Lansdowne Street. 
Fenway Park? C'mon, it's not like they keep it hid!"  
It was the look in your eyes you said 
"No one's going to hurt me like you did." 
Rolling Over it a thousand times
In the narrow flume of my mind.  
O what I'd give for just one small caress.                           
It was the look in your eyes 
When you said something like "Yer possessed." 
You're possessed.
