Tuning: standard
Notes:
Original key sounds like Bbm but it's easier for guitar fingering to play in Am.
Of course you can use capo on 1st fret if you want to play in Bbm.
If you are not experienced with "complex" chords don't worry - they are not always
more difficult to play just because they have long names. Don't skip over them -
they are what makes the song sound so good! Below are the chord positions I use.
The hardest finger stretch is on Bbm7/Ab (Bbm7 with Ab in the bass)Use little
finger for the Ab bass.
Use a 1st finger bar for the Bdim chord.
X = MUTE

Am Bdim
Where do I begin, to tell the story of how great a love can be
Am Am7/G
The sweet love story that is older than the sea
F E7
The simple truth about the love she brings to me
Am
Where do i start.
Am Bdim
With her first hello she gave a meaning to this empty world of mine
Am Am7/G
There'd never be another love another time
F E7
She came into my life and made the living fine
E7 A A7
She fills my heart . . .
A7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
She fills my heart with very special things, with angel songs
Fmaj7 E7 Am
With wild imaginings, she fills my soul with so much love
Am Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7
That anywhere I go Im never lonely with her along who could be lonely
B7 E7 . . .
I reach for her hand it's always there
Am Bdim
How long does it last, can love be measured by the hours in a day
Am Am7/G
I have no answers now but this much I can say
F E7 Am
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away and she'll be there.
(Now there is a key change - everything goes up one fret. Brilliant!)
Bbm Ebdim
How long does it last, can love be measured by the hours in a day
Bm Bbm7/Ab
I have no answers now but this much I can say
F# F7 Bm
I know ill need her till the stars all burn away and she'll be there
END
