Lookin' for Love -- Johnny Lee
INTRO
Em F#m G A
VERSE 1
G D
I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
G D A
Single bars and good time lovers were never true
G D
Playing a fools game, hopin' to win
G D A A/G F#m Em
Tellin those sweet lies and losin' again
CHORUS
D
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
F#m
Lookin' for love in too many faces
G G Em F#m G A
Searchin her eyes, lookin' for traces, of what I'm dreamin' of
D F#m
Hoping to find a friend and a lover, I'll bless the day I discover
G Em A D
Another heart, lookin' for love
VERSE 2
I was alone then, no love in site
I did every thing I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it started or where it might end
I turned to a stranger just like a friend
CHORUS
INTERLUDE
G
You came a knockin' on my heart's door
Em F#m G A
You're everything I've been lookin' for
CHORUS
G
no more lookin' for love in all the wrong places
F#m
Lookin' for love in too many faces
G G Em F#m G A
Searchin her eyes, lookin' for traces, of what I'm dreamin' of
D
Now that I found a friend and a lover
F#m
I bless the day I discover
G Em A D
You, oh you, lookin' for love
CHORUS

NOTE: This song uses an alternating bass line
with a shuffle. In other words, switch off between
alternating bass and a syncopated rhythm according to
feel of the song (just as in Friend in Low Places).
Also, note the use of the country F#m, wherein the
low "E" string is hit on the second fret with the thumb.
This song was made popular by the movie Urban Cowboy,
and even crowds that "hate country" wind up singing
along to it. --kidguitar
