All I Want Is You Barry Louis Polisar
Hi, this is my first online tab, so I've ran into a bit of a problem telling
you guys how to strum in the right rhythm. For those of you who can figure it
out by listening (thumbs-up), for the rest of you I'll try to explain it.
he repeat this constant beat 4 times within one stroke.
----------3---x-- Each hit is 1/16, and is a constant up/down rhythm in ----------3---x-- your right hand. Up-strums being from the high e and ---4------4---x-- upwards, and down-strums being from the low E and ---5------5---x-- downwards. Up-strums: < Down-strums: > ---5------5---x-- There's no doubt that you'll get the best effect if ---3------3---x-- you can just keep a constant up/down thing going in
> > < your right hand, and the just avoid strumming on the
first up-strum, so that the first down-strum seems longer. All in all try to
get that country-swing rhythm.
[G] [C] [F#(#5)]

[G]If I was a flower growing [C]wild and [G]free
[G]All I'd want is you to be my [F#(5#)]sweet honey [G]bee.
[G]And if I was a tree growing [C]tall and [G]green
[G]All I'd want is you to shade me and [F#(5#)G]be my leaves
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
- here's a minor deviation
[G]If you were the wood, [C]I'd be the [G]fire.
[G]If you were the love, [F#(53)]I'd be the [G]desire.
[G]If you were a castle, [C]I'd be your [G]moat,
G(strum once and let ring)F#(5#) G
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
