VERSE 

     G                    G 
If I needed you would you come to me 

                  C          D       G 
Would you come to me, for to ease my pain? 

       G                 G 
If you needed me I would come to you 

                 C           D 
I would swim the seas for to ease your pain 



       G                      G                        
In the night forlorn when the morning's born 

                C               D         G 
And the morning shines with the lights of love 

         G                   G 
You will miss sunrise if you close your eyes 

               C        D        G 
And that would break my heart in two

VERSE 

           G                   G 
The lady's with me now since I showed her how 

           C    D       G 
To put her lily hand in mine 

         G                 G      
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see 

               C       D       G 
And a treasure for the poor to find
