"If I Should Fall Behind"
F#m A F#m A
A
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
F#m
That come the twilight should we lose our way
D A
If as we're walking a hand should slip free
F#m
I'll wait for you
D
And should I fall behind
A
Wait for me
A
We swore we'd travel darlin side by side
F#m
We'd help each other stay in stride
D A
But each lover's steps fall so differently
F#m
So I'll wait for you
D
And should I fall behind
A
Wait for me
D A
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
D F#m
But you and I know what this world can do
D A
So lets make our steps clear that the other may see
F#m
And I'll wait for you
D
Should I fall behind
A
Wait for me
A
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
F#m
And there neath the oak's bough, soon we will wed
D
Should we lose each other
A
In the shadow of the evening trees
F#m
I will wait for you
D A
And should I fall behind wait for me
F#m
Darlin I will wait for you
D
Should I fall behind
A F#m D
Wait for me
A F#m D A repeat and fade
Oh, wait for me
