              If I had you                    Mayo/Chater sung by Alabama 
 
 
 D              G                        D   
1. If I had you we'd run like gypsies    in the wind 
2. If I had you we'd count the stars all one by one 
3. If I had you we's sail the seven      seas as one 
 
   G              D                   A            D 
1. we'd be lovers and we'd be friends     if I had you 
2. we'd make love till they were gone oh, if I had you 
3. we'd never say it can't be done        if I had you 
 
 
      G           A    D        e     G 
Cause you light a fire way down in my soul 
 
    G                  A        D          e      G   D 
the flame keeps growin stronger there ain't no control 
 
            G                   A 
and there's nothing, no there's nothing 
 
               D            e     D    G D e D A  
I know there's nothing that I wouldn't do  
 
         D 
if I had you
