Stevie Nicks
"I Sing for the Things"
from the album "Rock a Little" (1985)
This song is played mostly on piano, but can sound beautiful with finger-picked
chords on acoustic guitar.
C F G
C F
You say I have everything
C G
Well, I'm living on dreams and chains
C F G C
But, I sing for the things money can't buy
C F
You say you don't believe
C G
Well could you just look at me
C F G C
Look deep into my eyes... my love
(the bass line for the next part goes: F G A G, F E D C. If you listen, you can
hear it in the song)
F G C
Well, have you ever been in love?
G C
Have you touched the soul of someone?
F G C
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run?
C F
I'll take off my cape for you
C G
I'll take down my hair for you
C F G C
Anything you want me to do... my love
C F
Well, I'll sit home and wait for you
C G
Oh, darling there's nothing that I'd rather do
C F G C
Anything you want me to do... my love
(the melody continues in C, as above)
Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone, baby
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run
You say I have everything
Well, I've been living on dreams and chains
I sing for the things that money can't buy me
Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run...
