Intro:

(n.?)
 We've come a long, long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have to; celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should.

Chorus 1:

          G#7             A#7
You're so rare, you're so fine;
C#7     D#7         G#7
 I'm so glad you're mine.
          G#7             A#7
You're so rare, you're so fine;
C#7     D#7         G#7
 I'm so glad you're mine.

Verse 1:

            G#7         D#7
You make me glad, I'm a woman,
              F#                G#7
'Cos you're a feeling, thinking man.
                           D#7
And anytime, I know you're needing;
             F#                     G#7
I'm going to please you every way I can.

Chorus 2:

          G#7             A#7
You're so rare, you're so fine;
C#7     D#7         G#7
 I'm so glad you're mine.
          G#7          A#7
You're so rare, you're so fine;
C#7                 D#7               G#7
 You've cleared the questions from my mind.

Verse 2:

        G#7             D#7
I was a-fraid to say; I love you,
          F#                    G#7
Afraid to take and too eager to give.
                                 D#7
You helped me deal with what I'm feeling,
     F#                     G#7
With why and how, I want to live.

Chorus 3:

          G#7               A#7
You're so rare, man, you're so fine;
C#7           D#7            G#7
 You know I'm so glad you're mine.
          G#7               A#7
You're so rare, man, you're so fine;
C#7  D#7                 G#7
 I'm sho' nuff glad your mine.

Verse 3:

          G#7                  D#7
I have to praise you, when you hold me,
         F#              G#7
When you work your way a-round.
                        D#7
Ain't a part of me left over,
F#                          D#7
 That your sweet love ain't found.

Verse 4:

            G#7          D#7
You make my moan turn to whisper,
            F#               G#7
You make my whisper, turn to call.
                                      D#7
You make me scream and scream that, I love you,
           F#                          G#7
When you, (when you), make me rise and fall.

Chorus 4:

          G#7              A#7
You're so rare, and you're so fine;
C#7     D#7        G#7
 I'm so very, very glad you're mine.
          G#7            A#7
You're so rare, yu're so fine,
C#7        D#7                 G#7
 Oh, (oh), you're mine, you're mine.

Verse 5:

           G#7                   D#7
You know I want the best for you baby,
             F#               G#7
And what you want, I want for you.
                         D#7
And we can work together baby,
   F#                         G#7
To see it, to see it all come true.

Chorus 5:

               G#7             A#7
'Cos you're so rare and you're so fine,
C#7       D#7           G#7
 And Lord knows; I'm so very glad you're mine.
          G#7                         A#7
You're so rare, so rare and you're so very, very fine;
C#7                     D#7       G#7
 Oh you cleared all the questions from my mind.

Verse 6:

             G#7               D#7
We've come a long, long way to-gether,
            F#                 G#7
Through the hard times and the good.
                                            D#7
I'm going to take this day to celebrate you baby;
F#                       G#7
 'Cos I have to stop and praise you, like I should.

Chorus 6:

          G#7                               A#7
You're so rare, take yo' praise, and you're so fine,
C#7    D#7                G#7
 And I hope you know, I'm glad you're mine.
         G#7
Take yo' praise; you're so rare,
         A#7
Take yo' praise; you're so fine...
