I Need You chords
America 1971 (Jeff Beckley) *

  A augmentedA         C# minorC#m
We used to laugh, we used to cry,
E minorEm         G7G7     C majorC
we used to bow our heads then, wonder why
  A augmentedA               C# minorC#m
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
E minorEm          G7G7     C majorC
And make the best of what you've left to me,
FF      D7D7
left to me, left to me

 G+G         E minorEm
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
      B minorBm          E minorEm
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
      G+G         E minorEm
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
      B minorBm    G+G B minorBm  G+G
You know I need you, I need you

D MajorD E MajorE

  A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
And every day, I'd laugh the hours away
E minorEm          G7G7    C majorC
Just knowing you were thinking of me
  A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
And then it came, that I was put to blame,
E minorEm       G7G7  C majorC
for every story told about me
 FF     D7D7
About me, about me

 G+G         E minorEm
I need you, like the flower needs the rain
      B minorBm          E minorEm
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
      B minorBm     E minorEm     G+G
You know I need you, I need you, I need you

     E minorEm
like the winter needs the spring
      B minorBm          E minorEm
You know I need you, guess I'll start it all again
      B minorBm     E minorEm     G+G
You know I need you, I need you, I need you
