    you know they will not fail you.

    When the sun rises in the morning,

                    C                              B7

    you will wake up and find her yawning.

                     Em                                Am               

    When the wind blows strong and cold,

                    C                   B7          

    she'll be with you until you grow old.

    I would build a lovely house with satin green shutters,

    it would be lovely, the most lovely house in the world.

                                             Em           Am           Em

    And I would sing a lovely song with you in my mind,

           Am           Em             D               B7             Em

    and you in my eyes, the most lovely song in the world.

   C                                 D                             G                B7

    I would write it down on the wall, just for you, just for you,

     Em                                                           D             Em         

    and I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days.

2. When you're sad and feeling low,

               Am                        B7

    you're on your own with nowhere to go,

 

 

 

 

Em                              G

    Make believe that she is gone,

    Am                             B7                   Em    - Am - Em

    play your guitar and write a song for her.

 

               Em                               A

    Write down the words about how you cried,

                       C        

    when you woke up weeping,

                         B7          

    'cause you thought that she had died,

                   Em                             Am

    and you heard her breathing through your pain,

                    C                            B7

    and you held her close and cried all over again.

       Em                        - G                        

    Where your love is,         put your heart,

    Am                                - B7                                   Em  - Am - D - B7

    oh, what would you do,        if your dreams came true ?

 

       - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Em             Am              Em       

    And inside my lovely house with satin green shutters,

      Am                    Em                 D              B7                  Em

    there would be children, the most lovely children in the world.

                                              Em   Am               Em

    And even when skies are grey, we would be happy,

         Am         Em              D             B7              Em

    for we have love, The most lovely love in the world.

   C                                 D                              G                 B7

    I would write it down on the wind, just for you, just for you,

     Em                                                           D             Em        - E

    and I would hold you in my arms for the rest of my days.
