Have I Told You Lately
Van Morrison. From the 1989 Album Avalon Sunset.
The versions on the site are not quite right for Van's original so I'm posting this one. 
Any corrections/comments most welcome.

Key of E. Best played with Capo 4 in C relative to Capo

I don't know how to write up the chord shapes, but the only unusual one is the Fmaj7 - 
like an open Emaj7 but with the first fret barred. the F/G refers to an F chord with a G 
in the Bass and 5th string muted

Intro: C Em7 Fmaj7 F/G    PLAY TWICE

CHORUS
    C            Em7           F         F/G
Have I told you lately that I love you?
    C            Em7           F           F/G
Have I told you there's no one above you?

Fmaj7                     Em7               Dm7
Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness,

 Dm7                            C   F/G
ease my troubles that's what you do


VERSE
        C       Em7            F           F/G
Ah the morning sun in all its glory
           C        Em7           F   F/G  Fmaj7
greets the day with hope and comfort too
                           Em7                          Dm7
And you fill my life with laughter you can make it better

Dm7                             C  F/G
ease my troubles that's what you do.



BRIDGE

   Dmin7 C/E
Fmaj7
There's a love that's divine
                         Em7                Dm7 Em7
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun.

 Fmaj7
And at the end of the day
                           Em7                    F/G
we should give thanks and pray to the one


CHORUS

Say - Have I told you lately that I love you

Have I told you there's no one above you

Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness,

ease my troubles that's what you do.


Instrumental solo:  Same chords and tempo as Verse 1.
