Intro: A, E, A, E, A, E, B, E 
 
            A              E 
Won't you take me to the place 
   A               E 
Where you like to hide 
   A            E 
Open up your jewelry box 
            A          E 
And let me put my love inside 
 
Won't you take me to the pastures 
Where your wild horses run 
Cover me with amber 
From your morning sun 
 
          A                     E 
My sweet Lily of the valley 
          A                           B 
A finer woman has never been born 
              A               B          A       E 
You're my redemption for the miles I've traveled 
            E         B               A 
You're my angel when my wings are torn 
 
           
Won't you walk with me a while 
In the shade of the grove 
Let's lay down in the tall grass 
And talk of things untold 
 
We can wade out in the water 
We can dunk each other down 
And a new way can rise up again 
And the old ways'll drown 
 
(cho: 2x)
