Start Jamming...
It's called If I Needed You.
It came to me in a dream.
I was in Tennessee living with a guy named Susanna Clark.
I was asleep.
[A] I had a notepad by the mattress on [N] the floor.
I was dreaming that I was a folk singer.
[Ab] [C] This was [Ab] the song I played.
[Bb] I happened to wake up.
I wrote it down and went right [C] back to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning,
I went in the [B] room where the guitars were.
[C] I picked up a guitar and played it straight through.
It never has changed.
[N]
I changed one line from
It's now the line is,
Lady's with me now.
Lady's with me now since I showed her how
[Ab] to lay her lily hand in mine.
When I first wrote it in my [Db] sleep,
it was, [C] She loathed like a cow.
I showed her how to [Abm] lay her lily hand in mine.
Boys in the record [C] company did it.
We couldn't get loathed like a cow.
[Db]
I love this one.
It's called If I [C] Needed You.

[F] If [G]
[C]
I needed you,
[Fm] would you [C] come to me?
Would you come [F] to me
[Am] [G] and ease my [C]
pain?
If you needed me,
I would come to you.
I'd swim the [F] seas [G] for to ease your [C] pain.
In the night for long,
while the morning's born,
and the [F] morning [C] shines with [G] the lights [C] of love.
You will miss sunrise
if you close your eyes.
That [Am] would break my [G] heart in [C] two.

Lady's with me now
since I showed her how
to lay her [G] lily hand in [C] mine.
Looping lily green,
she's a sight to see
and a [F] treasure [C] for the [G] poor [C] to find.
If I needed you,
would you come to me?
Would you come to me
[G] and ease my [C] pain?
If you needed me,
I would come to you.
I'd swim the seas for [G] to ease your [C] pain.
