Chords are GCGD in quick changes throughout (including the chorus)
First bit sung without any instrument If I was a flower growing wild and free All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee And if I was a tree growing tall and green All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
Then GCGGDG intro
Then...
GCG If I was a flower growing wild and free GDG All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee GCG And if I was a tree growing tall and green GDG All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
GCG All I want is you will you be my bride GDG Take me by the hand and stand by my side GCG All I want is you will you stay with me GDG Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
If you were a river in the mountains tall The rumble of your water would be my call If you were the winter I know I'd be the snow Just as long as you were with me when the cold winds blow
All I want is you will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you will you stay with me Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
If you were a wink I'd be a nod If you were a seed well I'd be a pod If you were the floor I'd wanna be the rug And if you were a kiss I know I'd be a hug
All I want is you will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you will you stay with me Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
If you were the wood I'd be the fire If you were the love I'd be the desire If you were a castle I'd be your moat And if you were an ocean I'd learn to float
All I want is you will you be my bride Take me by the hand and stand by my side All I want is you will you stay with me Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea
