Be My Number Two

Won't you be my number two
Being number one or trough (?)
am7 gm7 C
There won't be too much to do
just smile when I feel blue
And there's not much left of me
What you get is what you see
am7 gm7 C
Is it worth the energy
I leave it up to you
Break:
And if you got something to say to me
Don't try to lay off only weights on me
I know that it's really not fair of me
But my heart seemed too much action
And every time I look at you
you'll be who I want you to
am7 gm7 C
And I'll do what I can do
dm7 C Bb^6
To make a dream or two come true
Bb^6 gm7 F
if you be my, if you be my number two.
F Bb C F Bb C am7 gm7 C dm7 C
End:
Bb^6 gm7 gm7/c F^79
Chords:
F: Bb: C:

Use these chords for the first two lines of each verse and
the break.
The am7, gm7 and dm7 in the rest of each verse are:
am7: gm7: dm7:

For last C in each verse I take an upper position:
C:

The Bb9 and the C9 in the end of the break are:
Bb9: C9:

So you finally need the chords I play in the end of the Song.
I end up in the 10th position (dm7) and progress in a downward
movement in an ending-sequence to a finally F^7/9:
Play the dm7 at the 10th and the C at the 8th position. Go
down two frets to the 6th position and try a Bbmajor6 like
this:
Bb^6:

In the ending sequence I use the already mentioned gm7 after which I go over a gm7
add C on b-string at first position,
gm7/C:

to the last chord, a F major7/9:
F^7/9:

I hope you like it and enjoy... Juergen
