Your Precious Love Chords by Linda Jones

_ [G] _ _ _ _
And to each light a little rain must fall. _
[Em] And you know every day cannot be Sunday.
Every smile is not a smile of happiness.
And every tear that is shed is not a [C] tear of joy.
_ I'd like to dedicate this song to all of you [D] lovers out there.
Because maybe you have a loved one that's far, far away.
[G] Maybe he's across the street.
Or maybe she's just in another town.
You know, [C] I can [G] imagine when you're all alone in the wee wee house all night.
Why don't you get yourself a piece of paper and a pencil and sit down.
And Lord have mercy [Em] decide to write.
Knowing all the time that this letter that you write may not be a comfort to your loved one heart.
But let me [C] tell you something you can say.
You can say, darling, for your precious [D] love I give you the world on a silver platter.
[G] But you don't know as well as I that you'd be telling a great big lie.
And you don't want to do that to your loved one, neither would I.
[C] But you can say, darling, [G]
for your precious love I climb the highest mountain.
You know something, ladies and gentlemen, you could even go out as [Em] far as telling him or her that you try to swim the deepest sea.
But I think if you all would sit back, relax, put your mind [C] at rest and listen to me.
I think I can give you a better [D] understanding of what I'm trying to say.
[G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Your _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ precious _ love _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ will never [D] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ be. _
And [C] then I'm [G] sure. _ _
For when I _ _
_ _ [Em] hold. _ _
_ _ Lady, I'm so low.
I _ [C] know love is coming so soon.
[D] _ Good God, am I.
[G] That's what I feel you need. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ You know something, ladies, and especially you ladies, I'd like to speak to you.
Because you know something, ladies, if you got a man, I [Em] don't care what kind of a man you got.
He wants you to get down on your knees every once in a while and kind of crawl.
But you know, I got a man somewhere out there.
[C] I don't mind. _
Sometimes I wake up in the midnight hours, tears [D] rolling down my face.
And when I look around for my man, I can't find him.
[G] Hey, I thought a little lower, look a little higher, kind of pray to the Lord, because I always believe that the Lord could help me if nobody [C] else could.
[G] But sometimes I think he don't even hear me.
So I have to follow the law on my knees.
Look a little higher.
Kind of raise my voice a little higher.
[Em] And this is what I see when I call for my man.
I especially want you ladies to listen to me, because maybe you can try this.
It [C] might help you every once in a while.
This is what you see when you call on your man.

When your friends are loud, _ [Em] _
_ oh, what a loud _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [D] voice.
Just a bigger voice.
