Intro: C Am F G7 

#1. 
C                       Em               F 
Well, if I'm a fool for loving you and I guess  
                G7 
I've a right to be. 
          C                Em 
Cause you told me when you fell in love that  
F                       G7 
you'd fall in love with me. 

Bridge: 
    C                   Em      
And since that time I'm convinced that I'm the  
F                   G7 
one who's meant for you. 
       C                 F        G7      C  Am F G7 
So, be true, be true, be true, be true to me. 

#2. 
   C                        Em          F 
My friends all say that I'm just a fool to sit  
          G7 
home all alone. 
    C                    Em              F 
And to be content with a few love words I hear  
           G7 
on the telephone. 

Bridge: 
    C               Em               F 
But oh, so precious are those tender words I hear  
     G7                  C                 F 
from you, that you'll be true, be true, be true,  
   G7      C  Am F G7 
be true to me.  

#3. 
     C                  Em           F 
I'll wait and watch the days go by until we come  
   G7 
of age. 
  C               Em                  F 
Into our precious book of love, we'll add another  
G7 
page. 

OUTRO: 
  C                    Em              F 
A page that says these two will walk together all life  
G7                      C                 F        G7 
through, that you'll be true, be true, be true, be true  
   C  Am F G7      C 
to me...........be true..(Fade.)
