[Intro]

G
         G
If I needed you

[Verse 1]
Would you come to me,
Would you come to me,
C        D
 And ease my pain?
G
 If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
C       D             G
 For to ease your pain
            G
In the night forlorn

[Verse 2]
The morning's born
                C
And the morning shines
         D             G
With the lights of love
You will miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
           C
That would break
   D        G
My heart in two

[Verse 3]
       G
Lady's with me now
Since I showed her how
             C
To lay her lily
D
Hand in mine
G
 Loop and Lil agree
She's a sight to see
A treasure for
C D       G
  Poor to find
         G
If I needed you

[Verse 4]
Would you come to me,
Would you come to me,
C        D
 And ease my pain?
G
 If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
C       D             G
 For to ease your pain
