\"Heart Full of Soul\" is a 1965 single by the English rock band The Yardbirds.
It was written by Graham Gouldman, who later had a lengthy career as a member of 10cc. It charted in the United States at number nine and at number two in the United Kingdom.
The song makes an early use of the fuzz box by guitarist Jeff Beck during the guitar solo.
Originally, a sitar was going to be used, in keeping with the \"Eastern-exotic\" atmosphere of the song, but the sound was too thin, and eventually Beck produced a sitar-like effect on the guitar.
An outtake exists, with the sitar part intact.
In one way or another, all three of The Yardbirds' key guitarists were involved with \"Heart Full Of Soul\".
Although it is Beck that plays on the song, the US single was released with a picture sleeve erroneously showing the Eric Clapton line-up.
A March 1968 appearance on the music show Upbeat featured the final line-up with Jimmy Page miming to the record.
\"Heart Full of Soul\" appears on the 1965 compilation album Having a Rave Up.
It was featured heavily in the 2010 film London Boulevard.

Lyrics
Sick at heart and lonely,
deep in dark despair.
Thinking one thought only
where is she, tell me where.
And if she says to you
she don't love me
just give her my message
tell her of my plea.
And I know that if she had me back again
well I would never make her sad.
I've gotta a heart full of soul.
And I know that if she had me back again
well I would never make her sad.
I've gotta a heart full of soul.
She's been gone such a long time
longer than I can bear.
But if she says she wants me
tell her that I'll be there.
And if she says to you
she don't want me
just give her my message
tell her of my plea.
And I know if she had me back again
I would never make her sad.
I've gotta a heart full of soul,
And I know that if she had me back again
I would never make her sad.
I've gotta a heart full of soul,
I've gotta a heart full of soul,
I've gotta a heart full of soul.
