Play Me

Words & Music:

Neil Diamond

 

D

She was morning and I was the night-time.

                                    G

I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed.

                     D

I softly said, "Come take me."

 

For I've been lonely, in need of someone.

As though I'd done someone wrong somewhere, but I don't know where.

I don't know where, come lately

 

CHORUS:

G                A              G/B                A7             D

You are the sun, I am the moon, you are the words, I am the tune, play me.

 

Song, she sang to me; song, she brang to me;

Words that rang in me; rhyme that sprang from me warmed the night.

And what was right became me.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:

Dsus4[1m]  D[1m]  Dsus4[1m]  D[4m]

G[3m]      D[3m]  Asus4[1m]  D[4m]

G[2m]      C[1m]  G/B[1m]    Asus4[1m]  D[1m]

 

She was morning and I was night-time.

I one day woke up to find her lyin' beside my bed.

I softly said, "Come take me."

So it was that I came to travel,

Upon a road that was thorned and narrow, another place,

Another grace would save me.

 

CHORUS:

 

OUTRO:

G              A

You are the sun, I am the moon,

G/B              A7           D      D7   G  D Em D

You are the words, I am the tune, .....play........ me.
