C d e g d C F Em Dm
If I had the world to give
g C
I'd give it to you - long as you live
Would you [Em]let it [Am]fall
g F C
or hold it all in your arms?
C d e g d C F Em Dm
If I had a song to sing
g C
I'd sing it to you - as long as you live
Em Am g F
Lullabye - or maybe a plain serenade
g F
wouldn't you laugh, dance, and cry
or be [C]afraid at the trade you [C7]made?
[Fmaj7] [Bbmaj7]
E---0-----1-------| B---1-----3-------| G---2---- 2-------| D---3-----3-------| A---0-----1-------| E---1-----1-------|
[Fmaj7] I may not have the world to [Bbmaj7]give to you
[Fmaj7] but maybe I have a [Bbmaj7]tune or two
[Fmaj7] Only if you let me [Bbmaj7]be your world
e d C d d# d C g# g
could I ever give this world to you,
e d C d d# d C g# g
could I ever give this world to you
g Bb F
But I will give what love I have to give
g Bb F
I will give what love I have to give
g Bb F
I will give what love I have to give
[C]long as I live
(Solo)
C d e g d C F Em Dm
If I had a star to give
g C
I'd give it to you - long as you live
Would you [Em]have the [Am]time
g F
to watch it shine - watch it shine
g F C
or ask for the moon and heaven too?
I'd give it to [C7]you.
[Fmaj7] But just now I've no [Bbmaj7]star to spare
[Fmaj7] or anything fine or [Bbmaj7]even rare
[Fmaj7] Only if you let me [Bbmaj7]be your world
e d C d d# d C g# g
could I ever give this world to you,
e d C d d# d C g# g
could I ever give this world to you
