Love Me Tender

Needs no introduction! But interesting to know it was adapted from a song called Aura Lee from the 1860's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Me_Tender_(song)

G            A7
Love me tender, love me sweet,
D7      G
Never let me go.
G                A7
You have made my life complete,
D7        G
And I love you so.

G B7
Love me tender,
Em         G7
love me true,
C Cm        G
All my dreams fulfill.
Dm        E7        A7
For, my darlin', I love you,
D7                  G
And I always will

G            A7
Love me tender, love me long,
D7      G
take me to your heart.
G                A7
For it's there that I belong,
D7        G
and we'll never part.

G B7
Love me tender,
Em         G7
love me dear,
C Cm        G
tell me you are mine.
Dm        E7        A7
I'll be yours through all the years,
D7                  G
till the end of time.

G            A7
When at last my dreams come true
D7      G
Darling this I know
G                A7
Happiness will follow you
D7        G
Everywhere you go.

I Will Survive

I Will Survive. Is a great one for a drunken singalong, and it's the same string of chords all the way through:

Am Dm G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Dm E7sus4 E7

All credit to this site where I got the chords: http://www.scorpexuke.com/songs.html

At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
And now you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
('cause) you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive. Hey hey.

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little girl who's still in love with you,
And so you felt like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now...
