Chorus:
G (4)
If I needed you
Would you come to me
G C
Would you come to me
D/F# G (2)
And ease my pain
G (4)
If you needed me
I would come to you
G C
I would swim the seas
D/F# G (2)
For to ease your pain
G (4)
In the night forlorn
Oh, the morning's born
G C
And the morning shines
D/F# G (2)
With the lights of love
G (4)
You will miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
G C
And that would break
D/F#
My heart in two
Repeat Intro, add 1 measure of G to end
G (4)
Lady's with me now
Since I showed her how
G C
To lay her lily
D/F# G (2)
Hand in mine
G (4)
Loop and Lil agree
She's a sight to see
G C
And a treasure for
D/F# G (2)
The poor to find
