_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _
When you ask [B] me to sing, [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
it feels like [D] my heart would burst with [F#m] pride.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bm] And I [D] look at your face, [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ and [D] tears come [F#m] to my [G] _
eyes.
_ And all that's harsh [F#m] and wrong [G] in _ _ my life [D] melts [F#m] into one [G] sweet song.
_ And [A] my love spreads [F#m] wings _ [C#] like [G] a glad bird _ [D] flying over the [A] road.
_ [F#m] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ Well, [D] I know you take pleasure in my [G] singing.
_ _ [Bm] And I know that only [B] when [F#m] I sing do [G] you hear me.
_ Cause then [D] I touch things I [F#m] can't touch.
I [G] touch parts of you that I can't [D] really touch.
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bm] _ And [D] then, drunk with [F#m] this joy [G] of singing, _
_ [Bm] I forget myself [F#m] _ and [G] call _ [D] you [D] my friend.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ La la [D] la, [F#m] la la [G] la la. _
_ La [D] la la, [F#m] la la [G] la la.
_ I'm here [D] to sing you [F#m] songs. _ _ _
[G] In this field we have this corner spot.
_ _ _ [G] _
In your world we have [D] no real work to do.
[F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
Our life is just [D] to sit here [F#m] and sing [G] these songs that have [D] no purpose.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ And [D] there's a black [F#m] tinted sunset, the prettiest [G] of skies.
Lay [D] back, lay [F#m] back, rest your head on [G] my thighs.
There is [D] some awful [F#m] action that just breathes from [G] my hand.
It's just [D] breaths from [F#] a deed so _ _ [G] exquisitely grand.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And you [D] were always, [F#m] always [G] on my mind.
And you were always, [F#m] _ always [G] on my mind.
_ And you were [D] always, _
[F#m] _ always [G] on my mind.
And you [D] were always, always on my mind.
Well, I would not [D] have moved if [G] I knew you were here.
It's [D] some special action _ with [G] motives unclear.
Now you [D] will haunt me until _ I've [G] paid for what I've done.
It's a payment which precludes [G] the having of fun.
But you [D] were always [F#m] _ _ [G] on my mind.
And you were [D] always _ _ [G] on my mind.
And you were [F#m] always _
_ [G] on my mind.
You were [D] always _ [D] _ _
[G] on my mind. _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _
I've [G] got a new [D] partner riding [G] with me.
[D] Yes, I've got [G] a new partner now. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Now the sun's fading faster. _
We're ready to go.
And there's a [D] skirt in the bedroom [G] that's pleasantly low.
And the looms on the moor are the fish in the flow.
And my friends, my [Bm] friends, they [G] still whisper hello.
We all know what we know.
It's a hard swath to mow.
And you think like a hermit.
You forget what you know.
But [D] you were always _ [F#m] _ _ [G] on my mind.
And you [D] were always [F#m] _ _ _ [G] on my mind.
And [D] you were [B] always [F#m] _
_ on my mind.
And you [D] were [F#m] always _ _
[G] on my mind.
[D] But oh, [G] _ _ [D] I've got [G] a new partner [D] riding with me.
[D] Yes, I've got a [G] new partner riding [G] with me.
[D] But I've got [G] a new partner [D] now. _ _ _
