Chords for [Vinyl Rip] America - I Need You (Original 1971 Recording)

[A] We used to laugh, we used to cry
[Em] We [F] used to bow [G] our [C] heads and wonder why
[A] Now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
_ [Em] And [G] make the best of [C] what you left to me
_ [F] Left to me, [D] left to me
[G] I need you, [Em] like the flower needs the rain
You [Bm] know I need you, [Am] guess I'll start it all [D] again
You [G] know I need you, [Em] like the winter needs the spring
You [Bm] know I need you, I need you
_ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] Every day, I'd laugh the hours away
[Em] Just [G] knowing you were [C] thinking of me
_ _ [A] Then it came, that I was put to blame
_ [Em] For [G] every story [C] told about me
_ _ [F] About me, _ [D] about me
[G] I need you, _ [Em] like the flower needs the rain
You [Bm] know I need you, [G] guess I'll start it all again
You [C] know I need you, [Am] I need you, [G] I need you
_ [Em] Like the winter needs the spring
You [Bm] know I need you, _ [G] guess I'll start it all again
You [C] know I need you, [Am] I need you, [G] I need you
[Em] Like the flower needs the rain
You [Bm] know I need you, _ [G] guess I'll start it all again
You know [C] I need you, [Am] I need you, [G] I need you
Like [Em] the winter needs the spring
You know [Bm] I _ need you, guess [G] I'll start it all again
