_ _ _ _ She [Am] had the grace of a [F] dancer, _ _ _ _ pretty as the morning [C] sun.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
Her [Am] days were filled with [F] laughter, _ _ _ and when sixteen _ years had [G] come, _ _
_ _ She [Am] went to work [C] in the old [F]
house, _ _ and there she [E] met her [Am] _
love.
_ _ [Em] But [F] he, the [Dm] son, _ [C] was _ highborn, _ _ [Dm] and she, a [Am] village [G] girl. _ _ _
_ _ They [Am] met at night by the river, [F] _
_ _ _ and there he pledged his [C]
love.
_ _ [G] _ [Am] And so it was for the [F] summer, _ _ _ but [D] by winter _ all was [G]
done.
_ _ _ For [Am] the word was out in the [F] village, _ _ _ _ that she would [E] have his _ [Am] child.
_ _ [G]
And [F] the night [G] before she [C] left him, _ _ [Dm] these words were [F] in his [G] heart.
_ When she said, _ [C] _ _
love _ _ is all that we [F] _
have, _ [Dm] _ it is [C] forever.
[G] _ _ [C] _ _
Love is _ all that we [F] _
need _ _ [Dm] to be [C] together.
[G] _ [C] _ _
_ Love is [Am] _
all that [C] this [F] world has [G] to share.
_ Only _ [F] _ _
love _ _ [C] _
can take us [G] there.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ They [C]
found her clothes by the [F]
river, _ _ _ of her [C] there was no _ trace.
_ _ [G] [Am] And for many _ [C] years [F] he mourned her, _ _ [D] haunted by her [G] face.
[C] _ _ So [A] he set off over the [F] ocean, _ _ _ [Dm] these memories _ to _ [Am] escape.
_ _ But [F] the ship [B] he sailed [C] was ill-stuck, _ _ [Dm] and soon would [F] meet its [G]
fate. _ _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ They [Am] struck the rocks at [F] midnight, _ _ in the grip of [G] a roaring [C] _
storm.
[G] _ _ [Am] And he found himself in the [F] water, _ _ _ [D] with a woman _ and a _ [G] boy.
_ [E] _ With [Am] a power that was more [F] than human, _ _ [Dm] he brought [Abm] them to [Am] the shore.
_ _ And [F] her whisper [G] _ in the [C] _
darkness, _ _ [Dm] was a voice he'd [F] heard _
_ [G] before.
When she'd said, [C] _ _ love _ is _ all that [F] we have, _ [Dm] _ it is _
[C] [G] forever.
_ [C] Love _ _ is _ _ all that we _ [F] need _ _ [Dm] to be [F] _ together.
_ [C] _
Love is _ [Am] _
all that [C] this [F] _
world has to [G] share.
_ Only _ [Dm] love [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
can take us [G] _ _
there. _ _ _ _
