If I Could
Gordon Lightfoot
arr. Jeremiah McCaw Budnark
intro: D / C G / D / C G
D
If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
G
If I could rise like the wind o'er the tides of the sea
A7 D G
I would sing you to sleep my love with sweet melo=dy
G A7 D G
And let you dream away till the morning light re=turned again
A D C G D
To take you away from me
D
If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old
G
If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold
G A7 D G
Would I stand in the marketplace be-fore you
G A7 D G
To be shouted down without any warning at all, to be stood by the wall
A D C G D C G
And shot by the man in blue
D
If I could run with the grace of a sun coloured stallion
G
If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning
G A7 D G
If I caused the wind to change with one wave of my hand
G A7 D G
And if I could play the final symphony and set it free
A D C G D C G
Would it mean anything to you
D
If I could stand like the rusty old man in his armour
G
If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time
G A7 D G
I would turn his head away to the river
G A7 D G
And let him wander through the meadow grass, wild and free
A D C G D C G
For everyone to see
repeat 1st verse
outro: D / C G / D / C G / D / C G / D / C G
