DD (DpicAk E Bmstring)
D  A  Bm
[Verse]
Will you Dsearch through the loamy earth for me
GClimb through the briar and bramDble
I'll be your treAasureA  A  
I felt the Bmtouch of the Dkings and the Bmbreath of the Dwind
I knew the Bmcall of all the Dsong birds
They Bmsang all the wDrong wAords
I'm waiting foBmr you
I'm waiting for Dyou
[Interlude]
BmMmm Ammm DmmGm
BmMm mAmm  DmmDmm  (Mmm part x2)
[Verse 2]
Would you Dswim through the briny sea for me
GCrawl along the ocean's fDloor
I'll be your treAasureA  A  
I'm with the Bmghosts of the Dmen who can Bmnever sing aDgain
There's a Bmplace, follow Dme
Where a Bmlove lost at DseaA  
Is waiting foBmr you
Is waiting foDr you
[Interlude]
BmMmm Ammm DmmmG  
BmMmm Ammm DmmmDm
[Verse 3]
Would you Ddrift o’er the rolling fields for me
GHoard me in the highest Dbough
I’ll be your Atreasure
But in Bmhistory’s Drhyme there’s a Bmplace and a Dtime
And a Bmtruth to the Dgold that the Bmfools cannot DholAd
I’m waiting for Bmyou
I’m waiting for Dyou
[Outro]
BmMmm Ammm DmmmG
