Be Here to Love Me

by Townes Van Zandt, as performed by Norah Jones


        E                                D                             A (x2)

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine

            E                           D                                       A (x2)
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine

           D                               D7                          
That's got you to feeling this way, but

    A (x2)

I don't care, I want you to stay

       E                                    D                           A (x2)
Just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

   E                                 D                                     A (x2)

Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all

         E                              D                            A (x2)
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall

              D                                            D7
But who cares what the night watchmen say

         A (x2)

The stage has been set for the play

             E                                    D                             A (x2)
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

 

Guitar Solo:

E  D  A (x2)  (progession x2)

         E                                       D                                  A (x2)               
The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on to the sky

         E                             D                              A (x2)
The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why

       D                                      D7
The poets are demanding their pay

            A (x2)
They've left me with nothin' to say

         E                                    D                             A (x2)
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

         E                                    D                                   A (x2)
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today

         E                                    D                                   A (x2)
Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today
