I CAN'T TELL YOU - John Allan Cameron

INTRO: C G

Well, I can't tell (C) you in words that will sound (G) fine,
For what is (C) true may (D) not appeal to (G) you,
But (F) you must give it (C) time. (G)

And I can't tell you in words that will sound plain,
For it's your heart that must open wide to start,
To learn deal with pain.
(C) I can't tell (G) you.

CHORUS:
But I can (F) take you to a farm up (G) north where it's quiet,
And (C) show you what's a- (C/b) growing in the (Am) ground. (G)
(F) Let you smell the pines and drink the (G) water clear,
You'll wanna (C) 'til the (C/b) sun goes (Am) down. (G)
(F) Dance 'til the (G) sun goes (Am) down.
(F) Dance 'til the (G) sun goes (Am) down.

And I can'take you to a fountain of eternal youth,
Or a pleasure dome, 'cause it's probably in your home.
That you find the truth.
I can't take you.

(CHORUS)

C-G-C-F-C-G-C
