C
If I needed you

Would you come to me
                  F
Would you come to me
       G       C
For to ease my pain
C
If you needed me

I would come to you
                 F
I would swim the seas
       G         C
For to ease your pain
C
Well the night's forelorn

And the morning's born
                F
And the morning shines
          G        C
With the lights of love
C
And you'll miss sunrise

If you close your eyes
               F
And that would break
   G        C
My heart in two
C
If I needed you


Would you come to me
                  F
Would you come to me
       G       C
For to ease my pain
C
If you needed me

I would come to you
                 F
I would swim the seas
       G         C
For to ease your pain

SOLO

C
Baby's with me now

Since I showed her how
           F
To lay her lilly
G       C
Hand in mine
C
Who would ill agree

She's a sight to see
           F
A treasure for
    G       C
The poor to find
C
If I needed you

Would you come to me
                  F
Would you come to me
       G       C
For to ease my pain
C
If you needed me

I would come to you
                 F
I would swim the seas
       G         C
For to ease your pain
