[Verse]
G                           Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
      G          D
We've traveled together
      Cadd9
We've traveled so far
     G            D
Your tongue it is wise
            Cadd9                      D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
And there's love in your eyes deep and blue
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
    G       D          Cadd9
And Venus ascending is surely your star
     G            D
I've seen how you shine
      Cadd9                     D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
But I can't make you mine it is true
         Em                    C
You're a midsummer mountain in bloom
G                          Am
Heather and linden are the fruit of your womb
        C                    Bm
There's honey and sap in the couch of your lap
     D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Lady day
        Em                       C
There's nothing you would not provide
     G                      Am
When all is despair you are there at my side
      C                       Bm
It is you that is near, it is you that gives ear
       D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
When I pray
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
            G          D           Cadd9
You've been out on the road with a craving for tar
    G             D               Cadd9
You know what you need yes you're canny in deed
       D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
And in name
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
         G         D          Cadd9
And I'll see you tonight in a local bar
         G          D           Cadd9
We'll be wed before dawn and by morning
                  D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
We're one and the same
    Em                        C
The old ones they knew you my love
     G                     Am
They set you to reason and sullied a dove
    C                         Bm                 D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
But how could they try you or demystify you with words
         Em                     C
You're a city that's pulling me still
    G                         Am
You keep me from sleeping and strengthen my will
    C                              Bm
The gates they are strong but they open for song I
     D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Have heard
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
           G         D        Cadd9
You're the beautiful one that time cannot mar
     G           D          Cadd9
Your lost in the eyes of my love as she cries all for

D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Joy
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
           G       D           Cadd9
You're the elusive chord on my old guitar
       G             D              Cadd9
You're hidden 'neath veils that our love making fails
      D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
To destroy
        Em                   C
There's all I desire in your voice
  G                      Am
I fear I am bold but you leave me no choice
    C                      Bm
You know that to ask me to turn from my task would be

D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Vain
         Em                        C
You're a rose that for no man will yield
    G                   Am
You have many names and all of them sealed
     C                       Bm
Your empire is vast from the first to the last you
  D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Remain
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
     G           D            Cadd9
It's war all the time but you bare no scar
    G            D          Cadd9
You glitter like sand as it runs through my hands to
    D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
The sea
       G                    Cadd9
You're lovely to me yes you are
          G          D            Cadd9
You're my drunken companion, it's right that you are
     G             D           Cadd9               D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
Your love takes me higher your love is the fire in me
