Richard And Linda Thompson - It'll Be Me
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
If you Ghear somebody knocking on your door
If you Csee somebody crawling across the floor
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Verse 2]
If you see a head peeping from a crawdaddy hole
If you Csee someone climbing up a telegraph pole
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Chorus]
Gonna look in the Ccity where the lights are Gblue
Gonna search the Ccountryside all the haystacks D7too
[Verse 3]
If you Ghear a thought calling out into the night
If you Csee somebody hanging from a lamppost bright
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Lead Break]
[Verse 4]
If you Gsee someone looking in all the cars
If you Csee a rocket-ship on its way to Mars
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Verse 5]
GIf you see a new face on a totem pole
If you Cfind a lump in your sugar bowl
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Chorus]
Gonna look on the Cmountain and in the deep blue Gsea
Gonna search all the Cforests, oh, and look in every D7tree
[Verse 6]
If you Ghear a thought calling out into the night
If you Csee somebody hanging from a lamppost bright
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Lead Break]
[Verse 7]
If you Ghear somebody knocking on your door
If you Csee somebody crawling across the floor
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Verse 8]
If you Ghear a thought calling out into the night
If you Csee somebody hanging from a lamppost bright
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
[Chorus]
Gonna look in the Ccity where the lights are Gblue
Gonna search the Ccountryside all the haystacks D7too
[Verse 9]
GIf you see a new face on a totem pole
If you Cfind a lump in your sugar bowl
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
Baby, it'll be D7me and I'll be looking for Gyou
