Gordon Lightfoot - If Children Had Wings





CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO:: E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD G+G C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G (2x)

VERSE 1::
           C majorC
There's a love I hold dear
    G+G          E minorEm
And it shines through each year
    A minorAm        C/GC/G      D/AD/A ~ ~ ~
And it makes things seem different somehow
D/AD/A   E minorEm    C majorC
It's for better or worse
     G+G     E minorEm
It's for people who thirst
   A minorAm       D MajorD       C majorC  ~ ~ G+G
For a love that burns brighter right now

CHORUS::
           D MajorD      E minorEm     DmDm
And it shines on and on, 'til all sadness is gone
    C majorC      G+G       A minorAm       D MajorD  D/A-D/F#
And if children had wings, I would sing them their song
    E minorEm     C majorC     G+G     E minorEm
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
   A minorAm      D MajorD      C majorC ~ ~ G+G
Everything will be fine by and by


INSTRUMENTAL:: E minorEm A minorAm D MajorD G+G C majorC A minorAm D MajorD G+G


VERSE 2::
              C majorC
There were things that were said
      G+G        E minorEm
There were things that were done
   A minorAm     C/GC/G      D/AD/A ~ ~ ~
And a wife cannot stand too much pain
D/AD/A   E minorEm      C majorC
And what I thought was best
     G+G        E minorEm
Couldn't please her much less
    A minorAm       D MajorD       C majorC  ~ ~ G+G
But my love still goes on, that won't change


CHORUS::
           D MajorD      E minorEm     DmDm
And it shines on and on, 'til all sadness is gone
    C majorC      G+G       A minorAm       D MajorD  D/A-D/F#
And if children had wings, I would sing them their song
    E minorEm     C majorC     G+G     E minorEm
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
   A minorAm      D MajorD      C majorC ~ ~ G+G
Everything will be fine by and by


CHORUS::
           D MajorD      E minorEm     DmDm
And it shines on and on, 'til all sadness is gone
    C majorC      G+G       A minorAm       D MajorD  D/A-D/F#
And if children had wings, I would sing them their song
    E minorEm     C majorC     G+G     E minorEm
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
   A minorAm      D MajorD      C majorC ~ ~ G+G
Everything will be fine by and by
