If I Knew Chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]If I [Bb]knew[D]
where the wild dove [G]flew
I would not tell the [Bb]hunter,
[D]but I would tell you[G]
Though they [C]say you're not a [Dsus4]brave man[D],
hardly a man at [G]all
You [C]would not shoot the [Dsus4]wild things,
[D]like brave men in [G]the fall

[Interlude 1]
Mm mm
[F][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]If I [Bb]knew [D]where calypso blo[G]omed,
I would not tell the [Bb]ladies,
[D]but I would tell you[G]
For you [C]would not take the flower[D],
for money or for [G]love
Or [C]harm a single petal,
[Dsus4]'cause you would[D] not shoot the dove[G]

[Interlude 2]
Mm mm
[F][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]If I [Bb]knew [D]where our green love gre[G]w
I would not tell [Bb]the others,
[D]but I would tell you[G]
For 'though [C]the world may call you craven,
[Dsus4]I know it[D] is not true[G]
And 'though [C]a sword may hang [Dsus4]between us,
my [D]songs are all for [G]you

[Outro 1]
