Please [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] don't ask [Dm] _ [Gm] me to swim [F] that _ river. _ _
Please [G] don't ask [Dm] me [G]
for silver [F] and gold.
_ I can't [Dm] give you _ _ things that I [F] can't _ deliver. _
But I'll keep [Gm] you _ warm _ when the nights [F] are _ cold. _ _
The [Gm] moon is high _ and the [F] stars are blinking. _
The clouds [Gm] are _ drifting _ so slow [F] and slow. _ _
And I just [Dm] can't _ keep myself [F] from _ thinking _
that I'll keep [Gm] you _ _ warm when the nights [F] are _ cold. _ _

The songs [Gm] are sung and the stories [F] are told. _ _
And the fire [Dm] is dying. _ _ _
