[Intro]
D D
[Verse 1]
D G
They were on their honeymoon
D G
And the bride said to the groom
D A
I just can’t forget the dream I had last night
G A
I saw John, Paul, George and Ringo
Bm E
In the churchyard playing bingo
G A D
On the gravestones, this is how the groom replied
[Chorus 1]
G A
(He said) Be here now, be with me
D D7
Look into my eyes, kiss me
G A
Make this a moment we will savor
D D7
And we’ll put it aside for later
G A
We are young, our lives begun
Bm E
But it will not last forever
G A
There’ll be days we're not together
D
(So) be here now
[Verse 2]
D G
They were in their middle years
D G
Pretty deep in their careers
D A
And he called her from the plane in Amsterdam
G A
He said I just heard John, Paul, George and Ringo
Bm E G
And that dusty old hit single on the musak
A D
It made me wanna hold your hand
[Chorus 2]
G A
(He said) Be here now, be with me
D D7
Look into my eyes, kiss me
G A
Make this a moment we will savor
D D7
And we’ll put it aside for later
G A
Though our hearts still feel this hunger
Bm E
We won’t get any younger
G A
From the start our days are numbered
D
(So) Be here now
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D G
It was after visiting hours
D G
And he’d rearranged the flowers
D A
And she hadn’t recognized him in a week
G A
And the nurses heard him sing, hey
Bm E
You got to hide your love away
G A D
And she opened up her eyes and began to speak
[Chorus 3]
G A
(She said) Be here now, be with me
D D7
Look into my eyes, kiss me
G A
Every breath becomes a treasure
D D7
In my heard we’re young forever
G A
My race is nearly run
Bm E
I no longer feel the sun
G A
But I can face whatever comes
D
(Just) Be here now
G A
Though my race is nearly run
Bm E
I no longer feel the sun
G A
But I can face whatever comes
D
(Just) Be here now (2x)
