J. Cale I've been working on a J. J. Cale song from his "Okie" album. I'm missing a couple of lyrics. Can anyone tell me what he's saying here ? Are these chords correct ? Has anyone else recorded this song ? It seems like I've heard it somewhere before. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike Murphy [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'LL BE THERE (IF YOU EVER WANT ME) G There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me, Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me, D Never have seen a river that's too wide; G There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me, Ain't no man big enough to stop me, D G I'll be there if you ever want me by your side. G There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me, Look for me, honey, you will find me, D Any old time you're ready with your charms; G I'll be there ready and waiting, There won't be any hesitating, D G I'll be there if you ever want me in your arms. D G Love me if you're ever gonna love me, D Never have seen a road too rough to ride; G There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me, Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me, D G I'll be there if you ever want me by your side.
