Riff:  D  A G F# B

D              Bm                          A
Gerty rode the St. Charles line and hopped off at Belle Chasse (?)
D                     Bm            A
Walked on towards the river just to pass the time away 
G             Bm/F#         Em
Willy saw her comin' and he dusted off his jeans 
G                  Bm/F#          A
Had his speech all ready when she got to Magazine

[repeat intro]

D             Bm             A
Willy started talkin' as she turned to run away 
   D                    Bm                A
He stood his ground and made her hear the things he had to say 
G                  Bm/F#                Em
Gerty looked right through him, just as strong as she could be 
        G              Bm/F#          A
But she almost started cryin' when he got down on one knee
      D                C        G
I can feel love, I can see love 
                Asus A             D        
I don't speak love,    I sure need your love

[repeat intro]

D                Bm           A
Willy said "Now, honey, hey I know I been a fool 
    D               Bm           A
I'm distant and I'm arrogant and stubborn as a mule 
  G            Bm/F#          Em
I want to be a better man and take good care of you 
   G                 Bm/F#            A
If you could find it in your heart to help me see it through"
      D                C        G
I can feel love, I can see love 
                Asus A             D         F#m  G    D  E  F#         
I don't speak love,    I sure need your love

G    C  G    C  D
What a price I pay 
   G     C  G    C    D
To spend my life this way 
G  C    G    C    D
I can't take this pain 
     F#              A
When every heartbeat calls your name

Instrumental:  D  F#m  G  (repeat)

D              Bm                     A
Gerty took him by the hand and said, "Boy you're a mess 
      D              Bm            A
Don't try to find an eloquence you never did possess" 
G              Bm/F#           Em
Willy held her in his arms and whispered in her ear 
G             Bm/F#            A
I just got to learn to say the words you long to hear
      D                C        G
I can feel love, I can see love 
                Asus A
I don't speak love
      D                C        G
I can feel love, I can see love 
                Asus A             D         F#m  G
I don't speak love,    I sure need your love 
            D         F#m  G  
I sure need your love

Instrumental:  D  F#m  G  (repeat)
