Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Would you trade me for all the pretty girls

all the ones who came before?

Who left you broken hearted

with your back up against the wall.

Would you cash in all your high times

for some lasting company?

Or a warm soft breast for you to lay your head on

for all of eternity.

Chorus

If you are holding out for something

Just reach and we'll rise above.

Give me sun, give me dirt give me water

give me sweet everlasting love.

Verse 2

Would you travel right across the world

to meet a woman that you didn't know?

If you thought that she might be the one

to put your roots down with and grow.

Would you take her hand and walk with her

through the narrow gate of life

Gather your load, prepare to travel the road

that's gonna lead you from trouble and strife

CHORUS & REPEAT VERSE 1
