Will You Love Me Tomorrow?

Words & Music:

Carole King & Gerry Goffin

 

The Shirelles' version uses the I-vi-ii-G  progression (C - Am - Dm - G) for the verse, in keeping with the rock 'n' roll tenor of the early '60s.  The Carole King version uses the lusher chords.  The Shirelles' version is on the top (and in italics) and the Carole King version on the bottom.

 

 

C  F  F/G  [Shirelles' version:  C  Am  Dm  G]

 

C              Am       Dm   G  C             Am             G

C              F            F/G C                     F/G    G

Tonight you're mine completely, you give your love so sweetly.

  E         E7       Am

  Em        E        Am              G[F]

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,

Dm7          G               C

F/G          G         C

But will you love me tomorrow?

 

Is this a lasting treasure or just a moment's pleasure?

Can I believe the magic of your sighs?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

 

BRIDGE:

F                    Em      F                    C

F                    Em      F            F/G          C  C7

Tonight with words unspoken, you say that I'm the only one.

F                     Em              Am              D7      Dm7    G7

F                     Em              Am              D       Dm7/G  G

But, will my heart be broken when the night meets the morning sun?

 

I'd like to know that your love is love I can be sure of.

So, tell me now, and I won't ask again:

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?
