Ide Rather Be With You Chords by Terry Callier

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I could Gtake my guitarAm and Bm7 hit the roaC7Md

try to be a starBm Am

AmThat sort of thing just don't Gappeal to me

I could playG some one night stAmands

Travelin' lighBm7t a one man C7Mband Bm

BmBut I know this iAms where I'de Grather be

It's your brigBmht sunshine that lifted all the Amshadows off my

mind

Yeah your sweet lBmove led me to a brighter daAmy

So you nBmever have to worry bout me lAmeaving you behind

Wait and Bmsee I won't ever turn Amaway D7

(chorus)

Cause Gyou made my dream come Amtrue

And gBm7ave my life new meaning C7Mtoo and more than Bmanything Am

AmI'de rather be withG you Am

AmWell I'de rather be with yBmou babe if I could Am

I'de rather be with Bm7you Am

AmYou know I'de rather be with Bmyou babe surely would Am

AmYou know I'de raD7ther be with you G Am Bm7 C7M Bm

Am G

Now this Gghetto life is hard Am Bm7in our concrete front yard Cm7

Nothing gBmrows exAmcept a single tree to Gmark our place

But the momeGnt that I'm with youAm girl your Bm7light and love

Shine tC7Mhrough and Bmthen I realizeAm you're my Gsaving grace

I could Bmcatch that old greyhound head up Amnorth and bum

around

Watch the sun seBmt on the San Francisco AmBay

But you Bmmean so much to me I could Amnever put you down

That would be to bBmig a price for me to pAmay D7

(chorus)

Cause you Gmade my dream come Amtrue and gave Bm7my life new

meaning tC7Moo

And more than aBmnything Am I'de rather be with Gyou Am

AmI'de rather be with Bmyou babe if I could Am

I'de rather be with you Bm Am

AmI'de rather be with Bmyou babe surely would Am

I'de rD7ather be with you G Am Bm7 C7M Bm

Am G

(closing refrain, slow)

I'de raAm7ther be with you G

I got tired of not ever seeing any of this great, and practically unknown,

artist's songs on any tab and chord sites. It's my first time posting songs.

Hope it's helpful. Comments, corrections, suggestions, welcome.

All my own work.
