Your Precious Love Chords by Linda Jones

[N] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And to each life a little rain must fall. _
_ And you know every [Em] day cannot be Sunday.
Every smile is not a smile of happiness.
_ And every tear that is shed is not a tear of [C] joy. _
I'd like to dedicate this song to all of you lovers out [D] there.
Because maybe you have a loved one that's far, far away.
[G] _
Maybe he's across the street.
Or maybe she's just in another town.
_ You know, I can imagine when you're all alone in the wee wee house all night.
_ Why don't you get yourself a piece of paper and a pencil and sit down.
And Lord have mercy decide to [Em] write.
Knowing all the time that this letter that you write may not be a comfort to your loved one heart.
But let me tell you [C] something you can say.
You can say, darling, for your [D] precious love, I give you the world on a silver platter.
But you [G] all know as well as I that you be telling a great big lie.
And you don't want to do that to your loved one, neither would I.
But you can say, darling, for your precious love, I climb the highest mountain.
You know something, ladies and gentlemen, you could even go out as far as [Em] telling him or her that you try to swim the deepest sea.
But I think if you all would sit back, relax, put your [C] mind at rest and listen to me.
I think I can give you a better understanding of what I'm [D] trying to say.
Mm _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ hmm. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well, you know, _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ he's going to miss you.
_ _ _ _ Oh, well, I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ know. _
_ Oh, _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] good _ God. _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You know something, ladies, and especially you ladies, I'd like to speak because, you know, something, ladies, if you got a man, I don't care what kind of [Em] a man you got.
He wants you to get down on your knees every once in a while and kind of crawl.
But, you know, I got a man somewhere out there.
I don't mind [C] crawling. _
Sometime I wake up in the midnight hours, tears rolling down my [D] face.
And when I look around for my man, I can't find him.
Hey, I [G] fall a little lower, look a little higher, kind of pray to the Lord, because I always believe that the Lord could help me if nobody else could.
Well, sometimes I think he don't even hear me.
So I have to fall a little low on my knees, look a little higher, kind of raise my voice a little higher.
And [Em] this is what I see when I call for my man.
I [E] especially want you ladies [Em] to listen to me, because maybe you can try this.
It [C] might help you every once in a while.
This is what you say when you call on your man. _
[D] Learn to enjoy. _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] I got you till _ _ _ _ _ _ the _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ man found _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ you.
But you're prisoner.
_ _ But you're prisoner. _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ Oh, I love
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] you.
You got your bigger baby.
_ I wanna tell you. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
