Love Me

[Intro]



C  G/B  | Am  Am/G  | Dm  G  | C  F/C C





[Verse]



C        G/B     Am                    F       G             C

I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.

C       G/B     Am                  Dm7               Gsus  G

Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me.     He said,

C         G/B       Am                F          G      C

"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,

C         G/B          Am      F           G                  C  F/C  C

Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."





C           G/B   Am           F       G       C

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.

C           G/B    Am                 Dm7          Gsus    G

Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.

C          G/B    Am                 F           G         C

But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead

C         G/B        Am           F       G       C  F/C  C

Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:





[Chorus]



       F            G     C   F          G     C

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.

     F                G          Am

I'll meet you when my chores are through;

Dm7             Dm7/C      Gsus  G

I don't know how long I'll be.

        F         G       C     F       G        Am

But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.

       F            G            E7        Am7

And between now and then, till I see you again,

        F(2)       G       C   G/B  | Am  Am/G  | Dm  G  | C F/C C

I'll be loving you.  Love, me.





[Verse]



C            G/B        Am              F       G        C

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,

C              G/B  Am                  Dm7                Gsus  G

In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.

C          G/B   Am              F      G       C

I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;

C         G/B        Am       F        G                   C  F/C  C

But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.





[Chorus]



       F            G     C   F          G     C

If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.

     F                G          Am

I'll meet you when my chores are through;

Dm7             Dm7/C      Gsus  G

I don't know how long I'll be.

        F         G       C     F       G        Am

But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.

       F            G            E7        Am7

And between now and then, till I see you again,

        F(2)       G       C    Am7

I'll be loving you.  Love, me.

   F            G            E7        Am7

Between now and then, till I see you again,

        F(2)       G (NO CHORDS)

I'll be loving you.  Love, me.
