Played in D with capo on the second fret to match the youtube video. I generally transpose to C for my vocals.
D I'll hold you in my heart G Till I can hold you in my arms DA7 Like you'd never been held before D I'll think of you each day G And then I'll dream the night away DA7D Till you are in my arms once more
G The stars up in the sky D Know the reason why E7 I feel so blue A7 When I'm away from you D I'll hold you in my heart G Till I can hold you in my arms DA7D So darling please wait for me
