    Db                        Gb                Db
Oh, if I could build my whole world around you, darling
Gb        Db         Gb      Db
First I'd put heaven by your side
Ebm     Db                Gb           Db
Pretty flowers would grow wherever you walk, honey
Gb            Db                Gb       Db
And over your head would be the bluest sky
Bbm      Fm                 Bbm
Then I'd take every drop of rain
         Fm                 Bbm
And wash all your troubles away
             Ebm                 Db        Ab
I'd have the whole world wrapped up in you darling
                      Db     Gb
And that would be all right, oh yes it would

I'd make your eyes the morning sun
Gb      Db      Gb               Db
I'd put so much love where there is sorrow
Gb      Db                Gb         Db
I'd put joy where there's never been none
Gb       Fm               Bbm
Then I'd give my love to you
           Fm                        Bbm
For you to keep for the rest of your life
        Ebm             Fm        Ab
Oh, and happiness would surely be ours
                      Db     Gb
And that would be all right, oh yes it would
