Miss You Like Crazy – Natalie Cole

This song is a classic hit from the 80’s sung by Natalie Cole, daughter of Nat King Cole.

You know that in 80s Pop Music, there is a bell-like sound that is not a piano. In this specific case the Piano has a bell-like sound that is called tines. It makes us travel to the 80s when we hear sounds like this and it is amazing. Not only that. The song also gives a vibe that is pleasing to the ears on a saturday night. Therefore, this is one of the songs that is great to listen to at night.

The meaning of the song will get us feel the yearning for your person as well. Especially the last part that emphasizes the feeling of missing someone.

The chord progression of this song is amazing because it jumps from one chord to another at the same time, changing bass notes decreasingly. In my bandmate words, it is “chromatic”. It also changes keys every now and then. So a if a keyboard player plays this, the person must have versatility to the song to the point that it can be played fluidly. If you’re a beginner and wanted to play this, this can be a good song for practice in different keys that this song has.

This song has 5 different key transpositions and it jumps 3 frets or 3 semitones/pitches higher every key change. The only exceptions are: first, the first chorus because it jumps 3 lower its key (D to B) and last part which is only 1 frets/semitones from (F to F#).

Feel free to transpose the song but I think it will be rarely done because it is sung/played like the original one. Enjoy my transcribed chords for Miss you like Crazy by Natalie Cole.

Intro:


Verse 1:
Even though it’s been so long,
My love for you keeps going strong.
I remember the things that we used to do,
A kiss in the rain till the sun shined through.

I tried to deny it,
But I’m still in love with you.

Chorus 1:
I miss you like crazy,
I miss you like crazy,
Ever since you went away,
Every hour of every day.

I miss you like crazy,
I miss you like crazy,
No matter what I say or do,
There’s just no getting over you.

Verse 2:
I can see the love shining in your eyes,
And it comes as such a sweet surprise.

It seems believing is worth the wait,
So hold me and tell me it’s not too late.
We’re so good together,
We’re starting forever now.

Chorus 2:
I miss you like crazy,
I miss you like crazy,
Every since you went away,
Every hour of every day.

I miss you like crazy,
I miss you baby,
Love like ours will never end,
Just touch me and we’re [C}there again.

Instrumental:

Bridge:
Just one night,
And we’ll have to find the feelings like we used to do.
Hold on tight,
And whatever comes our way,
We’re gonna make it through.

It seems believing is worth the wait,
So hold me and tell me it’s not too late.
We’re so good together,
We’re starting forever now.

Chorus 3:
And I miss you like crazy,
I miss you like crazy,
No matter what I say or do,
There’s just no getting over you. (repeat till fade)
