I used to play this song, it's called [Bb] If I Needed You.
This was recorded by Doc Watson, it really [Ebm] blew my mind,
you know?
And it's been recorded [Bbm] by the Dillards,
and the two, [Bb]
[Gm]
Loop and Lil were parakeets.

[Eb] [F] [Bb]
[Bbm]
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
Well, if I needed you, would you come to me?
[Bbm] Would you come [Eb] to me [G] and ease [Bb] my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you.
I'd swim the [G] seas for to [Bb] ease your pain.
In the night forlorn, or the morning's born,
and the [Eb] morning shines [F] with the lights [Bb] of love,
you will miss sunrise.
If you close your eyes, that [Eb] would break [Bb] my heart in two.

[Eb] [F] [Bb]

[Eb] [F]
[Bb] Lady's with me now, since I showed her how
to lay [Eb] her lily [F] hand in mine.
Loop and Lil agree, she's [Bb] a sight to see,
and a treasure for the poor to find.
If I needed you, would you come to me?
[Bbm] Would you come [Eb] to me [F] and ease my pain?
If you needed me, I would come to you.
I'd swim the [Eb] seas for to ease [Bb] your pain.
