Capo 3

[Verse]

We lived alone

My house and I

We had the earth

We had the sky

I had a lamp

Against the dark

And I was happy

As a lark

[Verse]

We lived alone

My house and I

We had the earth

We had the sky

I had a lamp

Against the dark

And I was happy

As a lark

[Chorus]

D G

I had a stove and a window screen

C F

I had a table painted green

Bb F

Sat on a chair with a broken back

C F

Wearing a pretty potato sack

D G

I had a rug upon my floor

C F

And roses grew around my door

Bb F

I had a job, my wants were few

C F

They were until I wanted you

Bb F

And when I set my eyes on you

Nothing else would do
