G             Bm   C
Push all my papers in the stove
                         G                   Bm   C
And pull the cotton high across your throat
                G            Bm   C
Try to make you warm enough
                         G            Bm   C
So I can ply you with my talk of hope
                      G            Bm   C
'Cause boy, you got a long way up
                          G             Bm   C
And the ladder's cold and rusted rough
                           G           Bm  C
And you're too young to be tested thus, oh-oh
                       G          Bm   C
Can we put the pain in one of us?


[Chorus]
        Em    D  C
This is all I wa-nt
        Em    D   G  C
This is all I wa----nt


[Verse 2]
               G         Bm  C
Soon the river rising up
                      G            Bm   C
And you, my guy, will ride on top
                          G          Bm   C
Through the sylvan valley under sun, oh-oh
                  G            Bm   C
And on and on the summers come
C
On and on


[Chorus]
        Em    D  C
This is all I wa-nt
        Em    D  C
This is all I wa-nt
        Em    D   G  C
This is all I wa----nt


[Bridge]
     Em           D             G             C
If I take care of you, that will take care of me
       Em           D                 G             C
I will take care of you, and that will take care of me
         Em       D             G           C
If I can make you good, that's all I really need
       Em           D                 G             C
I will take care of you, and that will take care of me


[Outro]
               G         Bm   C
Soon the river rising up
                      G            Bm   C
And you, my guy, will ride on top
                          G          Bm C
Through the sylvan valley under sun, oh-oh
                  G            Bm   C
And on and on the summers come
              G             Bm  C
On and on the summers come
C
And on and on, on and on, on and on
C
On and on, on and on, on and on
