By my side    (video)    (midi)

 

    Dm ~

 

     Dm                                      - C                           Am

1.        Where are you going?         Where are you going?

Dm                                   C    - Am

    Can you take me with you?

                 Dm                                  C         - Am

    For my hand is cold and needs warmth.

                             Dm        ~

    Where are you going?

 

C                                        Dm            

    Far beyond where the horizon lies,

                       C

    where the horizon lies, and the land sinks into

D                              C                 D

    mellow blueness, oh, please, take me with you.

C                            D                   - C                                        D

    Let me skip the road with you,     I can dare myself, I can dare myself.

C                           D                         C                                D

    I'll put a pebble in my shoe, and watch me walk, I can walk and walk.

 

    Dm                                      C                Am              Dm

2.        I shall call the pebble Dare, I shall call pebble Dare,

                                             C            - Am

    we’ll talk together about walking.

                          Dm                                          C       Am

    Dare shall be carried, and when both have had enough,

            Dm                                             - C                   Am

    I will take him from my shoe, singing,     "Meet your new road."

                   Dm                                C              Am

    Then I'll take your hand, finally glad, finally glad,

                                           Dm                 - C               Am

    that you are here by my side, by my si…de, by my side,

              Dm                   - C               Am

    by my side, by my si….de, by my side,

               Dm                          - C               Am

    by my side, that you are he…re by my side.
