You mean the world to me  (Country 1, 1967)     (video)

 

    G                                   C

1.    Daylight comes and bluebirds sing

D                             Bm

    and outside the grass is green,

         C                           A7                    D      - D7

    but I don't care if it's sunshine or its rain !

G                                  C             - D                                 Bm

    ‘Cause I'm happy as I can be        as long as you will stand by me,

             A7                            D                                 G       - C - G

    and nothing this side of heaven can make me change.

 

               G                     - B7

‘Cause you,  I love you,         I love you,

E

    you make all my dreams come true,

  A7            D                      G    - C - G

you mean all the world to me !

  

+  A - D - G - C - G

 

(orig. moves up a full note co capo 4th here)

 

    G                                     C

2.     You start my day with one sweet kiss

       D                                      - Bm

    keep my world turning with          tenderness,

                  C                       A7                                D - D7

    and you always say the right things when I'm blue.

                 G                                  C

    When dark clouds threaten to cover my sky

            D7                                Bm

    and temptation looks me straight in the eye,

       A7                              D7                   G    - C - G

    it all disappears when you say I love you !

 

               G                     - B7

‘Cause you,  I love you,         I love you,

E

    you make all my dreams come true,

  A7            D                      G    - C - G

you mean all the world to me !

 

(orig. moves up a full  note to capo 6th here)

 

               G                     - B7

‘Cause you,  I love you,         I love you,

E

    you make all my dreams come true,

  A7            D                      G    - C - G

you mean all the world to me !
