Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][Em][G][D][F#m]
[Em][D]

[Verse 1]
If I [F#m]promise not to [Em]cry,
Will you [G]look me in the eye[D],
And tell me that [Em]you've [Asus4]known me.[A]
[D]I was your late, your lonely chi[G]ld,
I am en[D]hanced [F#m]by all[Em]
you've [Asus4]shown me.
[D][G][D]

[Verse 2]
And in my [F#m]youth I did de
[Em]fy you to the end,[D]
Please for[G]give my wildness [D]then,
Even I [Em]can't comprehend.
[Asus4]What a mo[A]the[G]r's love h[F#m]as lent,[Em]
[A]To all that is [D]me.

[Verse 3]
[D]
And will you sing this song [G]again?
Let us sing it hand [D]in hand,
While the band [Em]is still [A]playing.
[D]Before the light can loose you[G]r hand,
Before I lose my voice [D]again,
Let us sing it while [A]it's playing.
[D]

[Verse 4]
And [Bm]if I promi[F#m]se not to cry,[Em]
Please [G]look me in the eye[D].
And say [Em]you've truly known
[A]me.[D]
'Tis the sweet sound of good[G]bye,
[D]Amazing [Em]grace,
how [A]sweet the sound.
[D]

[Verse 5]
[F#m]Between your soul [Em]and mine,
If I promise not [G]to [D]cry,[Em]
If I [Asus4]promise not t[A]o[D][F#m][Em]
[D]cry.

[Outro 1]
[F#m][Em][Asus4]
