Dave begins to play this at the 2:20 mark

We'll call this Intro 3.
After this, he begins to play the first intro at the 2:37 mark and he
plays that until the verse starts. Now for the lyrics and chords.
At the end of this are the chord definitions.
Dm Bb C F Bb Am Gm
Hey my love I came to you with best intentions
Dm Bb C F
You laid down and gave to me just what
Bb Am Gm F
I'm seeking I say
Bb Am Gm F
Love you drive me to distraction
Now Boyd begins to pluck the violin. I don't have that down so Dave
plays Intro 3 over the solo.
Dm Bb C F
Oh my love do you believe that we
Bb Am Gm Dm Bb C F
Might last a thou sand years or more if not for this
Bb Am Gm F
Our flesh and blood it ties
Bb Am Gm F
You and me right up time we celebrate oh
C Gm Bb Am F
Celebrate we will
F C Gm Bb Am
Cuz life is short but sweet for certain
F C Gm Bb Am F
Hey we climb on two by two
F C Gm Bb Am
To be sure these days continue
F Bb Am Gm Dm
Things we can not change
Once again Boyd plucks a solo so play Intro 3 over top of it.
Dm Bb C F
Oh my love you came to me like wine
Bb Am Gm Dm
Comes to that mouth
Bb C F
Grown tired of water all the time
Bb Am Gm F
You quench my heart and love
Bb Am Gm F
You quench my mind and celebrate oh
The chorus is then played twice the same way as above.
Dave then sings verse 1 again. He plays the same rhythm but he messes
around with the words a little bit and makes it kind of complicated so
sorry about that. Just play it the same way as verse 1.
He then plays the chorus 2 more times before they go into the piano
jam.
Once the piano jam starts you play the third intro the entire way
through it.
Now here are the chords:

guys. Let me know if you have any questions or problems. Have fun!!
