Your Precious Love Chords by Linda Jones

_ _ _ _ _ _ And to each life a little rain must [G] 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 [C] a 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, I get unhappy 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 tell you something [C] you can say.
You can say, darling, for your precious [D] love, I give you the world on a silver platter.
But [G] you'll know as well as I that you'll be telling a great big lie.
And you don't want to do that to your loved one, neither would I.
But you can say, darling, for your precious love, I climb the highest mountain.
You know something, ladies and gentlemen, you could [Eb] even go out as [Em] far as telling him or her that you're trying to swim the deepest sea.
But I think if you all would sit [D] back, relax, put your [C] mind at rest and listen to me.
I think I can give you a better [Db] understanding [D] of what I'm trying to say.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] Your heart _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
will be a penitentiary.
_ _ _ For when I _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ lay down _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ on this lonely and so blue, _ [D] _ good God almighty, [G]
that's what I will do. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] You know something, ladies, and especially you ladies I'd like to speak with you.
Because you know something, ladies, if you got [Eb] a man, I don't care what kind of [Em] a man you got.
He wants you to get down on your knees every once in a while and kind of crawl at you.
But you know I got a man that's somewhere out there that I don't mind [C] crawling to.
Sometime I wake up in the midnight hours, tears [D] rolling down my face.
And when I look around for my man that can't find me, [G] hey, I fall a little lower, look a little higher, kind of pray to the Lord.
Because I always believe that the Lord can help me if nobody else could.
But sometime I think he don't even hear me.
So I have to fall a little lower 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 [D] maybe you can try this.
[Db] It [C] might help you every once in a while.
This is what you say when you call on your man.
[D] Then turn to_ _

_ be [G] ashamed of. _ _ _ _
