Only 6 chords used in the song - C, Em, F, Fm, G, Am. A lovely song and easy to play along with, as are "Come A Little Bit Closer" and "This Magic Moment".

I always liked "Come a Little Bit Closer" but they lost me after that.

My favourite Jay & The Americans track is, and always was, "Living Above Your Head".

Good shout Tim but first time I heard the song was on a Walker Brothers album and I think I prefer their version, but accept like a lot of songs it is the fist version you hear that is normally the one that leaves the impression, if you like it of course.

It's the same with "No Regrets", I prefer the Tom Rush (his first recording of the song) version over the Walker Brothers one.

(You're My) Soul And Inspiration by The Righteous Brothers is one of my all-time favorite songs from that era. It's also the one that, so far, hasn't been incredibly overplayed/overcovered (witness "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling").

I happen to have that album and it's the only Righteous Bros. album I own.
