Walk over Niagara

Well I'm looking for you baby

In every cafe, diner and bar

All the faces there they know you and they say you

Can't have gone too far but you've gone

Far enough, baby

If I found out you've done me wrong

Don't ask to know who's the fool

I won't be the one

        D5*          C5*
I would sleep on the tail-plane

           B5* Bb5*
Of a Jumbo Jet

     D5*      C5*
Walk over the Ocean

        B5*               Bb5*
And I'd never once get wet

   D5*           C5*
Go skating on an iceberg

           B5*          Bb5*
And that's what I would once do
D5* N.C. Lay it down a dozen times

Just to hear you say "I Love You"
