I Want You Back – The Jackson 5
To anyone who may read this tab I hope you find some use out of it. All I did was take
lyrics, a tab I found, and the rhythm from a video on youtube made by a very talented
and put em all together. For the part after the second chorus I have no idea what goes
there so I’ll just pretend like it doesn’t exist : )

[E]
When I had you to myself
[A]
I didn't want you around
[C#m] [B] [A]* [G#m] [F#m] [GMb] [E]
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
[E]
But someone picked you from the bunch
[A]
One glance was all it took
[C#m] [B] [A]* [G#m] [F#m] [GMb] [E]
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
CHORUS:
[E/B] [A]*
Oh baby give me one more chance
(show you that I love you)
[C#m] [B] [A]* [G#m] [F#m] [GMb]
Won't you please let me
[E]
(back in your heart)
[E/B] [A]*
Oh darlin' I was blind to let you go
(let you go baby)
[C#m] [B] [A]*[G#m] [F#m] [GMb] [E]
But now since I see you in his arms
[E]
(I want you back)
Yes I do now
(I want you back)
Ooh ooh baby
(I want you back)
Ya ya ya ya
(I want you back)
Na na na na
VERSE 2:
[E]
Tryin' to live without your love
[A]
Is one long sleepless night
[C#m] [B] [A]*
Let me show you girl
[G#m] [F#m] [GMb] [E]
That I know wrong from right
[E]
Every street you walk on
[A]
I leave tearstains on the ground
[C#m] [B] [A]*
Following the girl
[G#m] [F#m] [GMb] [E]
I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now
CHORUS:
