Townes Van Zandt – Second Lovers Song (Guitar)

Dm               C           Dm               C
   You’re wakin' next to me,    tears splash 'cross the sun.

Dm             C           Dm                  G
   You whisper soft to me     that I ain't the only one

Em                 Am                      Em             Am
   To breathe your yella'(or: raven) hair,    caress your bosom fair.

Dm                C            Dm                 G
   Do you think I really care?    Do you think it matters?

Dm              C              Dm                  C
   What do your feelin's mean?    Do you think I'd love you more,

Dm              C              Dm                G
   If you stood pure and clean    of those you'd known before?

Em                     Am            Em        Am
   Would your words be sweeter then,    upon November's wind?

Dm          C          Dm                     G
   If you began again,    could your smile be softer?

Am                      Em                         Am             G
   Would your eyes more brightly shine? Would your laughter be so tender,

Am               Em               Am            G
   If you'd been only mine for as long as you remember?

Dm              C               Dm                  C
   I don't want tears from you,    don't build your love on shame.

Dm                C               Dm                G
   All that we've done is through    and all we can do remains.

Em         Am             Em            Am
   My lady can't you see,    I love not jealously?

Dm                 C         Dm                     G
   But for all you are to me    and all you'll be tomorrow.
