If I Needed You
Townes Van Zandt, 1981· Songs Well-Known in America · p.168
D Dsus4 D G A D
If I needed you, would you come to me? Would you come to me and ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
G A D
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
Dsus4 D
Well, in the night forlorn, oh, the morning's born
G A D
And the morning shines with the lights of love
And you will miss sunrise if you close your eyes
G A D
And that would break my heart in two

Dsus4 D
The lady's with me now since I showed her how
G A D
To lay her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree, she's a sight to see
G A D
A treasure for the poor to find
Dsus4 D
If I needed you, would you come to me?
G A D
Would you come to me and ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you
G A D
I'd swim the seas for to ease your pain
Outro : D G A D
