Pre-Chorus:
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
I'd like to live as her little lamb
for just as long as I can

B minorBm A augmentedA
and he's coming to take my woman
Chorus:
A augmentedA * A augmentedA
If she don't grow old by me

when her love was my only identity

who never let her wine run dry

but they don't got a dime to spare for my charity

and all I ask is to keep my lady company
