Brave young soldier of fortune

Fair young maiden in white
Dm C G
Sharing rose colored glasses
C G/B Am
Counting stars in the night
[Verse 2]

Blessed union of spirit
Am G/B F
Silver threads intertwine
Dm C G
Fabric so gently woven
C G/B Am
Fashioned veil of sunshine
[Chorus 1]
G Am
If you ask will true love abide
Am G F
I'll reply: some live, some die
G Am E
Only lovers decide
[Middle 8]
F G C F
The Earth turns in many ways
Am Dm G F
So some may sleep while some may wake
[Verse 3]
Am G/B F
Treasured moments of sweetness
Am G/B F
Far more precious than gold
Dm C G
Loving arms, warm embraces
C G/B Am
Shielding you from the cold
[Chorus 2]
G Am
If you ask will true love abide
Am G F
I'll reply: some live, some die
G Am E Am
Only lovers decide
