  The first single credited to 'Diana Ross and the Supremes'; better known

  decades later as the theme from the American TV series 'China Beach'.

  

  Available in true stereo on _Diana Ross and the Supremes' Greatest Hits

  Vol. III_; on a good system you can hear those weird beeps bouncing all

  around your room.  (You can also hear a couple of extremely crude splices

  before each repeat of the chorus at the end.)

  

  This is in Bb, but I think the 45 was sped up to B.  Anyone have an original

  pressing to compare?

  	Bb

  	Through the mirror of my mind

  	Fm

  	Time after time

  	Gb                   Db

  	I see reflections of you and me

  

  Chorus 1:

  

  	   Gb       Db

  	Reflections of

  	              Gb     Db

  	The way life used to be

  	   Gb       Db

  	Reflections of

  	              Gb       Db

  	The love you took from me

  

  Post-chorus 1:

  

  	Gbmaj7            Ebm/Bb              Fm

  	I'm all alone now,       no love to shield me

  	Bbm Ab

  	    Trapped in a world that's

  	              Gb

  	A distorted reality

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	Bb [as per verse 1]

  	Happiness you took from me

  	And left me alone with only memories

  

  	Through the mirror of my mind

  	Through these tears that I'm cryin'

  	Reflects the hurt I can't control

  

  Chorus 2:

  

  	'Cause although you're gone

  	I keep holding on

  	To the happy time, ooh

  	When you were mine

  

  	As I peer through the window of lost time

  	Lookin' over my yesterday

  	And all the love I gave all to you

  

  Bridge:

  

  	Bb   Eb  Dm   Gm

  	/ / (All the love) All the love that I've wasted

  	 Eb  Dm   Gm

  	(All the tears) All the tears that I've tasted

  	 Eb Dm Gm     Gb   Ebm6/Gb  F     Bb

  	  /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /   /  /  /  /

  	        Ooh, yeah

   

  Verse 3:

  

  	Through the hollow of my tears I see a dream that's lost

  	From the hurt that you have caused

  

  	Everywhere I turn

  	Seems like everything I see

  	Reflects the love that used to be

  

  Chorus 3:

  

  	In you I put

  	All my faith and trust

  	Right before my eyes

  	My world has turned to dust

  

  Post-chorus 3:

  

  	After all the nights I sat alone and wept

  	Just a handful of promises

  	Are all that's left of loving you

  

  [repeat chorus 1]

  

  [repeat chorus 3; fade]
