| [D] | [G] | [D] | [D]
In the | [D] chilly | hours and | [G] minutes | [G]
Of un- | [D] certainty | ... I | [G] want to be | [G] |
| [D] In the wa- | [D] -arm hold | [G] of your | [A] loving |
| [D] mind | [D] | [A] | [A]
To | [D] feel you | all a- | [G] round me | [G]
And to | [D] take your hand | ... a- | [G] long the sand | [G] |
| [D] Ah, but I | may as well | [G] try and | [A] catch the |
| [D] wind | [Dsus4] | [D] | [D]
When | [D] sundown | pales the | [G] sky | [G]
I want | [D] to hide a | while | [G] behind your | [G] smile |
| [D] And every- | where I'd | [G] look, your | [A] eyes I'd |
| [D] find. | [D] | [A] | [A]
For | [D] me to | love you | [G] now | [G]
Would be the | [D] sweetest | thing, | [G] 't would make me | sing |
| [D] Ah, but I | may as well | [G] try and | [A] catch the |
| [D] wind | [Dsus4] | [D] | [D]

Dee dee | [G] deedee | [G] ...dee dee | [E7] deedee | [E7]
Dee de | [A] deeee | [A] | [A] | [A]
When | [D] rain has | hung the | [G] leaves with tears | [G] |
| [D] I want you | near | [G] to kill my | fears |
| [D] To help me | to leave | [G] all my | [A] blues be- |
| [D] hind | [D] | [A] | [A]
For | [D] standing | in your | [G] heart | [G]
Is where | [D] I want to | be... | [G] and long to | be |
