th Fret
Intro: Am Dm C F E Am G Am D F Am
The autumn leaves were falling
G
On these old cathedral walls
Dm C
There were candles in the darkness
G
Singing in the choir
Am
And reading out the names
G
Of all the ones who've gone before
F
Well, I could tell that you were thinking
C G
About the meaning of it all
Chorus 1:
F G
And you said to me "Who will open up my eyes
F C G
To the wonder, and the glory, and the stars in the sky?"
F G
And you said to me "For this road I'm travelling on
Em F C G F G F
I need someone beside me forever. Who? Who?"
Chorus 2:
G C Dm G
I said "It's me, and I'm ready to go
E Am F
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down
C G
And I want you to know, that this power will grow
Am F
Every day, every beat of my heart
Am
Forever, forever"
We went down to the river
G
And we found a small café
Dm
They said that over in the corner
C G
Sat the writer Ernest Hemingway
Am G
And here he made his story of the lovers in the war
F
And through it all they stayed together
C G
'Til the rain had to fall
Chorus 1:
F G
And you said to me, "Who will be the one apart
F C G
Who will teach me, with conviction, all the ways of the heart?"
F G
And you said to me, "On this journey of my life,
F C G F G F
I need someone to love me forever. Who? Who?"
Chorus 2:
G C Dm G
And I said, listen "It's me, and I'm ready to go

Ready to show, that I'll never let you down

And I want you to know, that this power will grow
Am F
Every day, every beat of my heart
I love you, I love you"
C Dm G E Am
"It's me

And I'll never let you down
