[Intro: ]
F Dm C Am Bb C Am Bb C F
 
F Dm
Now if i was to sing for you
Bb F
A song you never heard
F Dm Bb C
And give it to you my finest treasure
 
Would you look at what I bring to you
 
Turn without a word
 
Leave me at your gate
 
Keep me waiting at your pleasure
 
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever
 
Well I'll beat a lion heart tattoo
I'll bring you pipes and drums
I'll bring you boots of burnished leather
I'll set to sea in ships for
Brave a thousand drums
Ride a hurricane
Laugh at any stormy weather
 
Chorus:
 
You set no store by gems and gold
You score on my weather chart
You are not concerned with men's advances
I want you more a hundred-fold
When you lift my heart
I'll burn no other flame
Bear noone else's lance
 
Chorus
To win your love
Forever
