James Keelaghan - I Would I Were Chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G    Am  Bm G C  G    Am  Bm G C  

  G                          Am     G        C
I would I were a robin's song borne upon the wind
G                                    Am       G        C
Lilting light through morning bright, soaring from the limb
    D              C                 D               C
And if I were that robin's song, I'd soar without delay
    G                                   Am    G        C
And be the first thing that you hear as you begin your day


INTERLUDE: G    Am  Bm G C  (2x)


  G                                  Am     G    C
I wish the Northern Lights were of a fabric apprehended
     G                                        Am           G     C
That from these earthbound human hands, those lights could be suspended
  D                 C                   D                 C
I wish the northern lights were mine to hem and sew and weave
    G                               Am       G        C
I'd make a cloak for you to wear to keep you from the breeze


BRIDGE:
Em     Am
Oh___, all of the questions
D                       Em
All of the stars in the sky
       Am
Oh___, never the answers
D                    E7
Always the wondering why


                 ## Key Change - Up 2 Semitones ##


  A                                      Bm                   D
I wish my hand could touch the place within your heart that's hidden
    A                                 Bm              D
And go to you, as if some ghost, that by you had been bidden
    E                    D               E              D
And though this world is touch and go, I cannot but believe
   A                                   Bm                  D
Of all the things that touch us first, love is the last to leave
   A                                   Bm    D
Of all the things that touch us first
