Verse 1:
     E5     D5           C5      E5   E5
If a fiddler played you a song my love
       EmD5         C5   C5   E5  E5
And if I  gave you a wheel
          C5          D5       G5    A5  A5
Would you spin for my heart and loneliness
          C5   D5     C5  C5  E5  E5
Would you spin for my love

Verse 2:
If I gave up all of my pride for you
And only loved you for now
Would you hide my fears and never say
tomorrow I must go

Chorus:
C5      D5            E5  E5
   Everywhere there's rain my love
C5      D5            E5  E5
   Everywhere there's fear

Verse 3:
If you tell me a lie I'll cry for you
Tell me of sin and I'll laugh
If you tell me of all the pain you've had
I'll never smile again

Chorus

Verse 4:
I can plainly see that our parts have changed
Our sands are shifted around
Need I beg to you for one more day
to find our lonely love

Chorus-End

Suggestions on how to play:
Listen to the acoustic version on the DREAM LETTER album (2-CD).
Capo on 2:nd fret to get a somewhat more muted sound.
This is a beautiful lovesong with a 4/4 halfbeat folksong feeling
A - corresponds to 1/8 beat. Stomp your feet at every ^ to get that
halfbeat feeling.
