[Intro] F G C F G C Csus4 C [Verse 1]
              F       G      C
Never did she know of such a time

              F      G         Am
Never did she have a chance to shine

              F             G      C
For a country girl they were magic words:

          F     G     C      Csus4  C
"Will you be my valentine?"
[Verse 2]
              F      G        C
Suddenly from nowhere flowers came

            F     G        Am
With an invitation, but no name

              F      G           C
"To the royal ball I hope you'll come

    F     G    C      Csus4  C
And be my valentine"
[Verse 3]
             F        G       C
To the royal ball then on her own

                   F     G       Am
With the lords and ladies bowing low

                   F       G       C
And no one came to take her by the hand

      F     G    C      Csus4
Where is my valentine?
[Chorus]
           C       Csus4
Someone to love me

           C            Csus4
Someone to care for me

               C  G    Am G    F     G
Someone who'll al-ways be here by my side
[Verse 4]
            F     G         C
So into the garden with her tears,

               F        G        Am
Sobbing in the moonlight, no one near

              F      G       C
Startled by a whisper in the dark:

          F     G    C      Csus4  C
"Will you be my valentine"
[Verse 5]
             F       G       C
"Many people long to be well known

                   F      G   Am
I'm always in a crowd but so alone

               F       G         C
When I saw the way you smiled at me

  F           G        C        Csus4
I dreamed you would be mine"
[Chorus]
           C        Csus4
Someone to love me

           C            Csus4
Someone to care for me

               C  G    Am G    F     G
Someone who'll al-ways be here by my side
[Solo] F G C F G C Csus4 C [Verse 6]
                F              G         C
Many years have gone since their wedding day

                      F         G         Am
They're living on the land, the simple way

                     F       G         C
And for their little children tell the tale

    F     G    C        Csus4
of "Be my valentine"
[Chorus]
           C        Csus4
Someone to love me

           C            Csus4
Someone to care for me

               C  G    Am G    F     G
Someone who'll al-ways be here by my side
F G C F G C
