Verse 1
Em C G D
She's the sky that holds the clouds; she's the lady of the house

A blind believer in all I dare to be
Em C G D
There's no safer place I've found than the shoulder of her white night gown
Em D C G/B G*
Oh I've got the best and the worst of her in me
Am7
I'd share her if I could
(D*) (G*)

Still she sings in the garden she lets her hair down in
