\"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 he tell me where.
And if he says to you
he don't love me
just give him my message
tell him of my plea.
And I know that if he had me back again
well I would never make him sad.
I've gotta heart full of soul.
And I know that if he had me back again
well I would never make him sad.
I've gotta heart full of soul.
He's been gone such a long time
longer than I can bear.
But if he says he wants me
tell him that I'll be there.
And if he says to you
he don't love me
just give him my message
tell him of my plea.
And I know that if he had me back again
well I would never make him sad.
I've gotta heart full of soul.
