This song is from Jim Brickman?s Destiny (1999) album. I heard this song the other day,
and searched UltimateGuitar for the chords. I found one version, however the chords
didn?t sound quite the same. Well, here?s my very first attempt at tabbing a song. I
tabbed this while watching piano covers of the song on Youtube. If there are mistakes, please
tell me so I can fix and improve the chords.
I?m not quite sure about the inversions, with all these different bass notes?
Key of C, modulates to Eb maj.
Performed by: Jim Brickman with Michelle Wright
Intro:
[C] [C/E] [F] [F/A] [G/B]
[C] [C/E] [F]
Verse 1:
[Am7] It's not the [F]flowers, wrap[Dm7]ped in fancy paper[G7]
[Am7] It's not the [F]ring, I wear [Dm7]around my finger[G7]
[Am] There's nothing in [Dm]all the world I [Am]need
When I have you [Dm]here beside me[F],
[F/A]Here be[G/B]side me
Chorus 1: (in C Major)
[C] So you could [C/E]give me wings to fly[F]
And [F/A]catch me [G/B]if I fall[C]
Or pull the stars[C] down from the sky[F]
So I could [F/A]wish on [G/B]them all[Am]
But I couldn?t ask [Dm]for more
[F] ?cause your love is the greatest gift of all
Verse 2:
In your arms, I found a strength inside me
And in your eyes there's a light to guide me
I would be lost without you
And all that my heart could ever want
Has come true
Chorus
Bridge: (modulating to EbM)
[Gm7] You could offer me the sun[C], the moon
And I would still be[Fm]lieve
You gave me [Eb/G]everything
When you [Eb/Bb]gave your heart to me
[Eb] [Ab] [Bb/D] [Eb]
[Eb]Cm F[Ab]m Ab[Bb] Bb (repeat until interlude is over)
[Cm] But I couldn?t ask[Fm] for more
[Ab] ?cause your love is the g[Ab/Bb]reatest [Bb]gift of all
Chorus 2: (in key of Eb Major)
[Eb] So you could gi[Eb/G]ve me wings to fly[Ab]
And [Ab/C]catch me [Bb/D]if I fall[Eb]
Or pull the st[Eb/G]ars down from the sky[Ab]
So I could [Ab/C]wish on them all[Cm]
But I couldn?t [Fm]ask for more
[Ab] [Ab/Bb] [Bb/D]
[Eb] ?cause y[(Eb]our lo[Ab]ve is[Eb)] the greatest gift of all
