If you were the day        I'd cry in the night

Cause trees don't cry

If your name was Jack,  I'd change mine to Jill for you

Through the day until the day was gone
F#        Bbm                  G#m          G#m/B
I could sing about you in my songs

As we rode away into the sett---ing sun

I would find it hard to let you go
D     F#m    Em        G
If you were,   my sister
D       F#m     Em        G
I would find it doubly so
 
D             F#m   Em            G                  D
If you were a dog,  I'd feed you scraps from off the table
F#m                 Em        G
Though my wife complains
D             F#m  Em     Gm
If you were my dog  I am sure you'd like it better then,
Gm
you'd be my loyal four legged friend
Gm
You'd never have to think again
Gm
And we could be together till the end
