[C#] Well, back in the past [F#] when I was treated so [C#] coldly, my love life was a [F#] time disgrace.
[C#] Needed someone to love and hold me, that's one of the reasons [B] that I was out of [C#] place.
So, this love, well she finally kissed me, had me all [B] worked up [C#] inside.
I was in love, but [G#] she bit me, [C#] she upped the levels [B] and I almost [G#] died.
But I was strong and I was far from lonely, I've been that way for a long, long year.
Needed a girl to call my one and only, [F#] is that you?
You think you [C#m] got the [F#] interest, [C#] come on and take the time.
[F#] Cause you [C#] know, I wanna [F#] be yours [D#] in a simple night.
[C#]
[F#]
[C#m] Well, ain't life grand [E] when you finally hit [C#] it?
I'm always a [B] sucker for a real good [C#] time, [E] I almost [C#] missed it.
Ain't I [B] glad that love is [G#] flying?
But I was young and I was [B] far too [G#] crazy, been that way for a long, long time.
Needed a girl but I was just [F#] too lazy, [G#] now that I found you.
[F#] You [C#] think you got [F#] the interest, come on [C#] and take the [G#] time.
[F#]
I'm [C#] gonna [F#] be yours in a simple [C#] night.
[B]
[C#]
She made the [F#] mountains [C#] sing, birds against [B] an icy sky.
[C#]
And I [F#] heard bells ringing, [C#]
I think I heard an angel sigh.
[F#] And she said, there'll be times, there will be times.
[C#] You're gonna hear the [F#]
angels singing, [C#] you're gonna hear the [B] angels sing. Sing [C#m] Nelson!
