VERSE 1:
G
Late yesterday night,
ch /ch
C F#/C# Em
I saw a light shine from a window,
Am7D
And as I looked again,
G
Your face came into sight.
VERSE 2:
G
I couldn't walk on,
ch /ch
C F#/C# Em
Until you'd gone from your window.
Am7D
I had to make you mine,
G
I knew you were the one.

Notes
1. There are but a few TAB'd versions of this song. This version is based
directly on the observation of this Live performance on "Ready, Steady Go!" in
1964. By Robin MacDonald of 'The Dakotas', their Rhythm guitarist. You can see
Keith Relf from the Yardbirds hosting at the beginning and end of this video.
2. Despite his previous international success Kramer went backwards with his
second and last UK single of 1964, the LennonMcCartney composition "From a
Window", which only just became a Top Ten hit.
