As I can be, as I can be

Verse 2:
Em                  D
Think horses, not zebras when you hear the sound
Em                      D
Of hooves on the ground
Em             D
You are a heliotrope who loves the sun
Em                           D
As it goes 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round

The noblesse oblige you sense is mine

"Better to illuminate than merely to shine"
Em                       Em/G
