Chords transcribed by:  Anthony Grafton, Oud Beijerland, Holland.


(A)  Don't you fret, now, I'll be there

     I?ll be there to hold your hand.
     I'll be there to see the sunrise,
As it  (E7) lightens up the (A) sky.

(A) Don't you fret, now, I'll be there,
      I'll be there to put you right.
      I'll be there to hold you tightly,
When the (E7) Sun goes down at (A) night.

I can't  (C) wait until the (G) day,

I'll come (F) home to you a(C)gain.


For my (C) love won't ever (G) fade,

I will (F) always feel the (A) same. (A) -  (A7)

Don't you (D) fret, don't you  (G) fret, 
I'll come (F) home to you a(A)gain   -  (A7).
Don't you (D) fret, don't you (G) fret,
I'll come (F) home to you a(A)gain.

(As above)

Make a brand new pot of tea,
Make my favorite kind of dish.
Do the things that I remember,
That'll make my dearest wish.

I can't wait until the day,
I'll come home to you again.
for my love won't ever fade,
I will always feel the same.

(A) So don't you fret love,
(A) Don't you fret love, no more.
(A) Don't you fret love, no more.

Note: Play the (C)  (G) (F) & (D) chords as barre chords to achieve the snappy KINKS sound !

I play this song in A major instead of C Major as on record because it's easier to get the high notes

and also it avoids the awkward E flat, B-flat & A-flat guitar chords.
