Fifth Dimension - One Less Bell guitar chord

Subject: ./f/fifth_dimension/one_less_bell.crd

[This one came out in the fall of 1970, and while Bacharach and David

continued to collaborate for another couple of years I believe this was

their last big hit. Like many of their songs, there's no distinct

verse/chorus structure, so run through it as printed.]

One less bell to answer [because a man told me goodbye]

why, why, why did he leave

One less bell to answer [somebody tell me please

where did he go why did he go]

why, why, why did he leave [how could he leave me]
