Grease - Freddy My Love

Originally in Db, I play in E

Get the vox ready for “flipped over that gray cashmere sweater”,

and also think hard about how serious you are about the melody in

the bridge. It’s rhythmically simple, but melodically wild. Plan

on a class-II train wreck in the bridge.

B7	B6	B+	B7

Vox start on the 1

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, I miss you	more than words can	say

Vox on the 7 of the chord on “touch”, down to the 3 of the chord on “way”

E	Emaj7	C#7sus4	C#7
Freddy my	love, please keep in	touch while you’re a	way

F#m7	F#m7b5	B7
Hearing from	you can make the	day so much better

G#m	G#m7b5/D	C#7sus4	C#7
Getting a	souvenir or	maybe a	letter

Vox up to the 3 of the chord on “flipped”, which is awkward,

then on the 5 on “gray”, which is not awkward.

Hard stop on “sweater”

F#m7	Am/D	E/B	A
I really	flipped over the	gray cashmere	sweater

	E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy you	know, your absence	makes me feel so	blue

E	Emaj7	C#7sus4	C#7
That’s okay	though, your presents	make me think of	you

F#m7	F#m7b5	B7
My ma will	have a heart at	tack when she catches

G#m	G#m7b5/D	C#7sus4	C#7
Those pedal	pushers with the	black leather	patches

F#m7	Am/D	E/B	A
Oh how I	wish I had a	jacket that	matches

	E	Emaj7	A	E7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

Vox on 3 1 of the first chord (“keep your”), then

1 5 of the second (“from me”).

That sets the tone, although this bridge is super-complicated to sing. Just hit

the high 3 of the chord on “mind” at the end and it will be OK.

	A	B7	G#m	E
Don’t	keep your letters	from me, I	thrill to every	line

	Am7	B7	Em	Em
Your	spelling’s kinda	crummy, but	honey so is	mine

	F#m7b5	B7+5	B7	Em	A7
I	treasure every	gifti	e, the	ring is really	nifty

	Dmaj7	C#m7	F#m7	B7
You	say it cost you	fifty, so you’re	thrifty, I don’t	mind

	E	Emaj7	A	B7
Woah, oh, oh,	oh, Freddy you	see, you’ll hold me	in your arms some	day

E	Emaj7	C#7sus4	C#7
And I will	be wearing your	lacy linge	rie

F#m7	F#m7b5	B7
Thinking a	bout it, my heart’s	pounding already

G#m	G#m7b5/D	C#7sus4	C#7
Knowing when	you come home, we’re	bound to go	steady

F#m7	Am/D	E/B	A
And throw your	service pay a	round like con	fetti

	E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love

E	Emaj7	A	B7
Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love, Freddy my	love
