Ernie Halter - Almost You Ukulele

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALMOST YOU – Ernie Halter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The intro and verses are mostly picked and sort of half-muted, I guess.
The chorus chords may not be dead-on, but they seem to work OK.

Em           (D/F#) G        (G/B) C                        B7
   Pretty pair of   green eyes,       sideways glance from across the room
