Verse 1:
[B]I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees.
[B]Ain't no doubt a-bout it, ba-by, it's you I aim to please.
[B]I'd wrestle with a li-on and a griz-zly bear.

[B]I love you in the morn-in' and I'll love you at noon.
[B]I love you in the night, take you, to the moon.
(Repeat Chorus)
[B]I'd lay in a pile of burning money, that I've earn-ed.

------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
1. 'Live' version varies from studio recording with an extra-long Intro., (x5 vs X3) refrains.
In 'Live on the River Boat Queen' version long-sustain on D chord (x24) to
the band and wind-up the band's performance.
2. If I get the opportunity, I'll add Jimmie Vaughan's Lead riffs to a future version.
