More songs by Gordon Lightfoot


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

Amaj7    Fmaj7     Amaj7    Fmaj7

   Amaj7
      At times I just don't know
   Fmaj7                            Dmaj7
      How you could be anything but beautiful
                         Dm7
      I think that I was made for you
                            Amaj7     Fmaj7
      And you were made for me

                        Dmaj7
And I know that I won't ever change
                                Dm7
'Cause we've been friends through rain or shine
                   Amaj7     Fmaj7
For such a long, long time

   Amaj7
      Laughing eyes and smiling face
   Fmaj7                        Dmaj7
      It seems so lucky just to have the right
                          Dm7
      Of telling you with all my might
                         Amaj7     Fmaj7
      You're beautiful tonight

                         Dmaj7
And I know that you will never stray
                               Dm7
'Cause you've been that way from day to day
                   Amaj7     Fmaj7
For such a long, long time

   Amaj7
      And when you hold me tight
   Fmaj7                             Dmaj7
      How could life be anything but beautiful
                         Dm7
      I think that I was made for you
                            Amaj7     Fmaj7
      And you were made for me

                        Dmaj7
And I know that I won't ever change
                                Dm7
'Cause we've been friends through rain or shine
                   Amaj7     Fmaj7
For such a long, long time

                 Dmaj7                          Amaj7
            Well I must say it means so much to me
                      D         E
            To be the one who's telling you
                                        Amaj7   Fmaj7  Amaj7
            I'm telling you that you're beautiful
