Subject: CRD: "I'll Be There" by J. J. Cale

I've been working on a J. J. Cale song from his "Okie"
album. I'm missing a couple of lyrics. Can anyone tell me
what he's saying here ? Are these chords correct ?
Has anyone else recorded this song ? It seems like I've
heard it somewhere before. Any help here would be greatly
appreciated.
			Thanks,

		I'LL BE THERE (IF YOU EVER WANT ME)

                 G
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me,

Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me,
                                    D
Never have seen a river that's too wide;
                G
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me,

Ain't no man big enough to stop me,
                           D               G
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.


                G
There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me,

Look for me, honey, you will find me,
                                 D
Any old time you're ready ----- ---;
          G
I'll be there ready and waiting,

There won't be any hesitating,
                           D          G
I'll be there if you ever want me anymore.


 D                            G
Love me if you're ever gonna love me,
                                     D
Never have seen a road too rough to ride;
                 G
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me,

Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me,
                           D               G
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.
