By:   Gordon Lightfoot

{ capo fret 2  }

[intro:]   |Amaj7  |    |Fmaj7 |    |Amaj7  |     |Fmaj7  |    |
 
[verse: 1]
|Amaj7                 | 
  At times I just don't know 
|Am7                 |          |Dmaj7      |
 How you could be anything but beautiful 
                   |Dm7             |                 |Amaj7   |    |Am7   |
I think that I was made for you and you were made for me 
      Am7                    |Dmaj7       
And I know that I will never change 
          |                    |Dm7
'Cause we been friends through rain or shine 
    |                 |Amaj7  |    |Fmaj7  |    |
For such a long, long time
 
[verse: 2]
|Amaj7                     |
  Laughing eyes and smiling face
|Am7               |                |Dmaj7
 It seems so lucky just to have the right
                           |Dm7            |          |Amaj7   |    |Am7   |
Of telling you with all my might, you're beautiful tonight
      Am7                      |Dmaj7
And I know that you will never stray
                               |Dm7
'Cause you been that way, from day to day
    |                 |Amaj7  |    |Fmaj7  |    |
For such a long, long time
 
[verse: 3]
|Amaj7                 |
  And when you hold me tight
|Am7                 |         |Dmaj7      |
 How could life be anything but beautiful
                   |Dm7             |                 |Amaj7   |    |Am7   |
I think that I was made for you and you were made for me 
      Am7                    |Dmaj7
And I know that I will never change
     |                  |Dm7
We been friends through rain or shine
    |                 |Amaj7  |    |Fmaj7  |    |
For such a long, long time
 
[bridge:] 
     |Dmaj7          |            |Amaj7    |
And I must say it means so much to me
         |D/A     |         |Esus        |E
to be the one,       that's telling you
   |Esus        |Esus              |Amaj7     |     |Fmaj7  |     |
I'm telling you        that you're beautiful

[coda:]   |Amaj7  |    |Fmaj7  |     {finish}
