Said he'd build me a courtyard, he promised he would
                     G6        G6            Dmaj7      Dmaj7
and spend time in my courtyard   whenever he could.

[Verse 2]
                 G6         G6             Dmaj7      Dmaj7
In the corner, a tall tree,   so shady and cool,
                   G6       G6                     Dmaj7      Dmaj7

[Verse 3]
               G6        G6                 Dmaj7      Dmaj7

                G6     G6              Dmaj7      Dmaj7
and a bountiful garden   where I could wait.

                   G6        G6                    Dmaj7      Dmaj7

                     G6               G6               Dmaj7      Dmaj7
and I know that he'd come to my side,   he would if he could.
