If I Could chords

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO]
[D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
[D]If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind o'er the tides of the sea [G]
I would sing you to [A7]sleep my love with [D]sweet melody [G]
And let you [A7]dream away till the [D]morning light re[G]turned again
To [A]take you away from me [D] [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 2]
[D]If I could speak with the tongues of the masters of old
If I could tame all the fleeting perceptions I hold [G]
Would I stand in the [A7]marketplace be[D]fore you [G]
To be shouted [A7]down without any [D]warning at all, to be [G]stood by the wall
And [A]shot by the man in blue [D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G]

[VERSE 3]
[D]If I could run with the grace of a sun coloured stallion
If I could fly like the great silver jets in the morning [G]
If I caused the [A7]wind to change with one [D]wave of my hand [G]
And if I could [A7]play the final [D]symphony and [G]set it free
Would it [A]mean anything to you [D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G]

[VERSE 4]
[D]If I could stand like the rusty old man in his armour
If I could ride the steed that he rode in his time [G]
I would turn his [A7]head away to the [D]river [G]
And let him [A7]wander through the [D]meadow grass, [G]wild and free
For [A]everyone to see [D] [C] [G] [D] [C] [G]

[VERSE 5]
[D]If I could sing like the poets and kings of this world
If I could rise like the wind o'er the tides of the sea [G]
I would sing you to [A7]sleep my love with [D]sweet melody [G]
And let you [A7]dream away till the [D]morning light re[G]turned again
To [A]take you away from me
