If Only You Knew Chords

Capo 2nd Fret
 
[Verse 1]
 
D
The mist of the morning in this strange town,
       G                D
lifted slowly with the sun,
              F#m         Bm
refracted the rays in a thousand ways,
   G           A
a new day just begun.
         Bm               F#m
And it crowded against my window sill,
      G                      Gm
still sweet with the morning dew.
 
[Chorus 1]
 
           D
If only you knew,
A                   D
how much I think of you.
 
[Verse 2]
 
D
Into the van and down the road,
   G               D
along the highway fast.
           F#m                      Bm
With this band I ride through the countryside,
     G               A
the seasons sliding past.
     Bm                   F#m
I spy a humble homestead there,
          G                 Gm
with a garden and a river view.
 
[Chorus 2]
             D
If only you knew,
  A                 D
how much I think of you.
 
[Bridge]
 
A                      G
By a stream of running water,
             F#m
I heard you laugh.
             B7                    Em
I closed my eyes for an hour and a half,
              A              F#m
and tried to make you appear.
                 B7            Em
I swear in the beauty of the setting sun,
A7
you were here.
 
[Verse 3]
 
D
An old troubador on the street last night,
       G                D
plays for our passing change.
    F#m                Bm
a fiddle in g plays a melody,
   G             A
mysterious and strange.
    Bm                           F#m
He learned on a green distant mountain top,
     G                         Gm
a wedding waltz, so sweet and true.
 
[Chorus 3]
 
D
If only you knew,
A                   Bm  G
how much I think of you.
             D
If only you knew,
A                   D
how much I think of you.
