Emmylou

[Verse 1]
C Em Am Fmaj7
Oh, the bitter winds are coming in,
C Em Am Fmaj7
And I’m already missing the summer.
C Em Am Fmaj7
Stockholm’s cold but I’ve been told
C Em Am Fmaj7
I was born to endure this kind of weather.
C Em Am Fmaj7
When it’s you I find like a ghost in my mind,
C Em G 1 extra bar G7
I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown.

 

[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
Am G
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
C Fmaj7
No, I’m not asking much of you
Am G C 1 extra bar C
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

 

[Verse 2]
C Em Am Fmaj7
Now so much I know, that things just don’t grow
C Em Am Fmaj7
If you don’t bless them with your patience.
C Em Am Fmaj7
And I’ve been there before, I held up the door
C Em Am Fmaj7
For every stranger with a promise.
C Em Am Fmaj7
But I’m holding back, that’s the strength that I lack,
C Em Am Fmaj7
Every morning keeps returning at my window.
C Em Am Fmaj7
And it brings me to you and I won’t just pass through,
C Em G 1 extra bar G7
But I’m not asking for a storm.

 

[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
Am G
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
C Fmaj7
No, I’m not asking much of you
Am G C 1 extra bar C
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

 

[Bridge]
Am G Fmaj7 C
And yes, I might have lied to you,
Am G Fmaj7 C
But you wouldn’t benefit from knowing the truth.
Am G Fmaj7 C
I was frightened but I held fast,
Am G Fmaj7 C 1 extra bar C
I need you now at long last.

 

[Chorus]
C Fmaj7
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
Am G
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
C Fmaj7
No, I’m not asking much of you
Am G C
Just sing little darling, sing with me.
C Fmaj7
I’ll be your Emmylou and I’ll be your June
Am G
If you’ll be my Gram and my Johnny too.
C Fmaj7
No, I’m not asking much of you
Am G F
Just sing little darling, sing with me.

 

[Outro]
Am G C
Just sing little darling, sing with me.
