Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Eb MajorEb Eb MajorEb Eb MajorEb Eb MajorEb


Verse 1:
Eb MajorEb        C minorCm F minorFm       Bb majorBb
 I dreamed I woke up and you were gone
F minorFm     Bb majorBb AbAb       Eb MajorEb
 I reached out
but no one was there
Eb/GEb/G C majorC        F minorFm     Bb majorBb
  I called your name and nobody answered
G+G       C majorC      F minorFm Bb majorBb
 And I wondered : "if I cry
would you care ?"

Verse 2:
Eb MajorEb C minorCm Fm7Fm7          Bb majorBb
    I had said I love you so many times
F minorFm        Bb majorBb            AbAb  Eb MajorEb
 But they're just words that you hear people say
Eb/GEb/G     C majorC      F minorFm       Bb majorBb
 And I never knew just how much I loved you
   G+G    C majorC F minorFm       Bb majorBb
Until suddenly
you'd gone away


Verse 3:
Eb MajorEb  C minorCm          F minorFm     Bb majorBb
 Now who'd stand by me the way you did
F minorFm       Bb majorBb     AbAb         Eb MajorEb
When I was weak it was you that made me strong
Eb/GEb/G      C majorC         F minorFm  Bb majorBb
 And you had a way of touching my heart
     G+G   C majorC        F minorFm  Bb majorBb
Like the words in a beautiful song


Verse 4:
Eb MajorEb     C minorCm       Fm7Fm7        Bb majorBb
 Oh we had good times and  we shared the bad
F minorFm   Bb majorBb         AbAb Eb MajorEb
 So I'll take whatever comes
Eb/GEb/G        C7C7          F minorFm Bb majorBb
Cause you were the best years of my life
G+G          C7C7 F minorFm         Bb majorBb
And we shared the cake  and we shared the crumbs

Verse 5:
Eb MajorEb C minorCm           F minorFm           Bb majorBb
   Then just before the hurt had built up in my heart
   F minorFm    Bb majorBb              AbAb Eb MajorEb
To a mountain that I knew I could never climb
   Eb/GEb/G  C7C7           F minorFm   Bb majorBb
I woke up
I woke up to a beautiful world
and you were there
G+G     C majorC   F minorFm     Bb majorBb
 You were there all the time


Chorus:
Eb MajorEb   C minorCm  Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb F minorFm   Bb majorBb  AbAb Eb MajorEb
I love you America
I love you America
Eb/GEb/G   C7C7  F minorFm    Bb majorBb
 And if I sail a stormy sea
G+G     C majorC    F minorFm   Bb majorBb
 Please be there to shelter me
Eb MajorEb   C minorCm  Fm7Fm7 Bb majorBb F minorFm   Bb majorBb  AbAb Eb MajorEb
I love you America
I love you America
Eb/GEb/G     C majorC        F minorFm       Bb majorBb
 So just keep holdin' me close and I will care
  G+G          C majorC       F minorFm  Bb majorBb
And we'll show the world that what we share
  Eb MajorEb        C7C7   Fm7Fm7  Bb majorBb
Is still the greatest love affair
Eb MajorEb C minorCm      Fm7Fm7   Bb7Bb7
  And I love you  America
F minorFm Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
 I love you
