A  A  E  A  A

[Verse 1]
                A
There ain't no chain  -  strong enough to hold me
         A
Ain't no breeze  -  big enough to slow me
           E                           A
Never have seen a river that's too wide


[Verse 2]
               A
There ain't no jail  -  tight enough to lock me
         A
Ain't no man  -  big enough to stop me
         E                                A
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side


[Bridge]
   E                                 A
So love me  -  if you're ever gonna love me
             D           A                E
I never have seen  -  a road too rough to ride
               A
There ain't no chain  -  strong enough to hold me
         A
Ain't no breeze  -  big enough to slow me

[Chorus]
        E                                 A
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
               A
There ain't no rope  -  stout enough to bind me
         A
Look for me  -  honey you will find me
        E                           A
Any old time you're ready with your charms
        A
I'll be there  -  ready and waiting
            A
There won't be  -  any hesitaten'
        E                                A
I'll be here if you ever want me in your arms


[Bridge]
   E                                 A
So love me  -  if you're ever gonna love me
             D           A                E
I never have seen  -  a road too rough to ride
         A
Ain't no chain  -  strong enough to hold me
         A
Ain't no breeze  -  big enough to slow me

[Chorus]
         E                                A
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side  
         E                                A
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side  
         E                                A
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
