I wish I had someone to love me      (video)

 

    D                     D7        G      D                                            A

I wish I had someone to love me, someone to call me their own,

  D                           D7        G    D          G             A           D

someone to sleep with me nightly, I‘m weary of sleeping alone.

 

        D                                  G   D                                         A 

1. Meet me tonight in the moonlight, meet me tonight all alone,

         D                           G    D          G          A                 D 

    I have a sad story to tell you, I‘m telling it under the moon.

 

+  CHORUS

 

         D                                     G   D                                         A

2. Though it‘s our last night together, nearest and dearest to part,

           D                                    G  D          G                 A            D

    the love that has held us together is shredded and torn all apart.

 

+  CHORUS

 

         D                                 G  D                                                    A

3. I wish I had ships on the ocean, I‘d lace them with silver and gold,

              D                                  G  D          G        A                     D

    and sail to the banks of my true love, a lad of nineteen years old.

 

+  CHORUS

 

        D                                   G D                                   A

4. I wish I had wings of a swallow, I‘d fly out over the sea,

          D                                G   D               G                      A            D

    I‘d fly to the arms of my true love, and bring him home safely to me.

 

+  CHORUS

 

             G             A           D 

+  I‘m weary of sleeping alone.
