If You Were To Wake Up chords by Lyle Lovett


Lyle Lovett Chords


"If You Were To Wake Up" written and performed by Lyle Lovett
>From the CD "Lyle Lovett and His Large Band" 1989
Brought to you by Nathan Board (nathan_board@orcom.com)
melody adapted from "Farther Along" - traditional.

This thing is a waltz.  3/4 count. I'll tab the first
verse.  It should be easy to learn and, in particular, one where
you can elaborate on when you get the time.  I'm still listening
to the track to pick up more.

(A little more interesting with a cello and fiddle around)

                 D       G
If you were to wake up
               D
And I were beside you
                  D
Would you gently smile dear
                A
And whisper my name
                D         G
And would you remember
                D
The way that I held you
                D         A
And would you want me
                D
To hold you again

(melody repeats)

Time reaches to you
Just like a willow
That bends to the water
And clings to the shore
And there was a time dear
That once you did love me
And there was a time
You loved me no more

Rain on your window
Light on your pillow
The way you lie sleeping
Is it like before
For there was a time dear
That once you did love me
And there was a time
You loved me no more
