 For you,  there'll be no more crying,/  For you,  the sun will be shining,
 I % I  % I  % I
 And I feel that when I'm with you,/ It's alright, I know it's right
 To you,  I'll give the world  / To  you, I'll never be cold
 'Cause I feel  that when  I'm with you,/  It's alright,  I know it's right
 And the songbirds  are singing,/  Like they know the score,
   I % I
 And I love you, I love you, I love you,/ Like never before.
 II: A I % I E I % :II
 And I wish  you all  the love  in the  world,  / But  most of all,  I wish it from  myself.
 And the songbirds  keep singing,  / Like they know the score,
 And I love  you, I love you, I love  you,/ Like never before,
 like never before.  like never before
 Another little garnish for the tune....
 Try substituting Asus2 and Esus4 during the longer sections when the A and E held.
 To get a feel of how they fit together, play an A then an Asus2, then back to A
 again. Alternate with the E, then Esus4, then E again as well. The "sus"
 (suspended) chords resolve very nicely back to their respective major chords.
