         CHRIS CORNELL

INTRO:
Em (Barre chord muted) then G

VERSE:
 G
In a castle
Bm
 Down a long road
Dm          C
 A little girl was born
G
 To a king and
Bm
 To a queen and
Dm          C
 Her mother’s eyes welled with tears of joy
Cm           G
 Staring at the tiny face
B          C
 Of a miracle she made

 G     D   Em  C
She would say I love you
Am        F  G G
She would say I love you


VERSE:
 G
Summer came and went
Bm
 Unrolling
Dm      C
 Trees all stripped to the bone
G
 Daddy’s little girl
Bm
 In his arms, well
Dm          C
 They sit upon his throne
Cm
 Who is that thief
 G
Hiding in the dark
 B                 C
Just a little girl who stole his heart


CHORUS:
G     D   Em  C
He would say I love you
G     D   Em  C
He would say I love you
Am        F  G
He would say I love you


BREAK:
Bm                Em
 With only these three words repeating
      C
A simple greeting
            G
But it’s all you would keep
Bm            B
 Clever lips can be misleading
  C
A tongue can fly away
  Em   G  A
And won’t come back
     G
But it’s only these words
D       G Bm Dm C  Cm G Em A C D
We recognize

 6 o’clock A.M
Bm
 The alarm rings out
Dm        C
 Awoken from a dream
G
 No more castle
Bm
 Down a long road
Dm         C
 No more kings and no more queens
Cm                G
 But she’s a princess none the less
B                    C
 And a handsome prince is what she’ll get


CHORUS/OUTRO:
G    D   Em  C
He will say I love you
G    D   Em  C
He will say I love you

He will say I love you

He will say I love you
Am       F  G
He will say I love you
Am       F  G  Bm Dm C G
He will say I love you
