Frankie Valli - Can't Take My Eyes off You
Tabbed by: Tim Gilbert
Similar to other versions, but I use different chord voicings in my band, and a few
have been made (minor chord used in verse). I also tabbed the 3rd verse which is in G. It
seem like a long tab, but its very easy to get the hang of, and the chords are easy to fret.

STRUCTURE AND VOCALS
Intro (false start by drums)
Verse 1
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Verse 2
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
So if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you
Bridge (Daa da, daa da)
Chorus
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright
I need you baby, to warm the lonely nights
I love you baby, trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby, don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby, now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, let me love you, oh baby
Verse 3 (up 3 semitones to G)
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Bridge (Daa da, daa da)
Chorus
I love you baby, and if it's quite alright

And let me love you, let me love you, oh baby
