Hi Greg - An interesting story behind this - my husband, who had
submitted another Sammy Kershaw song to Cowpie, received an e-mail from
a fellow who was getting married to his "best friend" in a week, and
wondered if he would do him the favour of transcribing the music, as he
wanted to play this song to his bride on their wedding day. Not wanting
to twart true love, (and having some background in piano) I took over
the job for my man, and am now sending it to you for your achives.
[Intro]
Am Dm Gm Bb Gm Bb F
[Verse]
Bb
How long have we been
F
the very best of friends
Bb C
I've always heard you say
F
I could tell you anything
Gm Gdim
Oh the times I made you laugh
F Dm
the times I dried your tears
Gm
Through the good and bad
Bb C
I've always been right here
[Chorus]
Bb F
An arms length away, right in front of your face
Gm C F
This close to your lips, right at your fingertips
Am Dm
That one true love you're dreaming of
Gm C Bb
Darling what would you say
Gm Bb F
If I told you it's an arms length away
[Pre Verse]
Gm Bb F
[Verse]
Bb
For so long I've longed to hold you
F
oh the nights I almost told you
Bb C
I stopped myself, afraid
F
of just what you might say
Gm Gdim
And the love that you have searched for
F Dm
that seems so out of reach
Gm
Have you ever stopped
C
to think it might be me
[Chorus]
Bb F
An arms length away, right in front of your face
Gm C F
This close to your lips, right at your fingertips
Am Dm
That one true love you're dreaming of
Gm C Bb
Darling what would you say
Gm Bb F
If I told you it's an arms length away
[Instrumental]
Bb F Gm C F
[Chorus] x2
Am Dm
That one true love you're dreaming of
Gm C Bb
Darling what would you say
Gm Bb F
If I told you it's an arms length away
