Intro

[Fmaj7] [Cmaj7] [Fmaj7] [Cmaj7] (x2)

[A] [D#] [A] [D#]

Verse 1

[A] [G#] [A] [Adim]

When I was a young girl in Leyte

[A] [C#m7] [Bm7] [E]

My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps

[Bm7] [C#m7]

I'd see the people smile,

[Bm7] [C#m7]

When I would sing for them

[Bm7] [C#m7] [E7]

How happy they all seemed when I would dance

Verse 2

[A] [G#] [A] [Adim]

We lived a stone's throw from the palace

[A] [C#m] [Bm7] [E7]

A simple country girl who had a dream

[Bm7] [C#m7]

The ladies passing by,

[Bm7] [C#m7]

A better class than I

[Bm7] [C#m7] [E7] [E]

How much it meant to me to be like these

Pre-chorus

[A] [C#m] [A]

Is it a sin to love too much?

[C#m] [A]

Is it a sin to care?

[Bm7] [E] [Bm7] [E7] N.C

I do it all for you, how can it be unfair?

Chorus

[A] [Bm7] [C#m7] [E]

I know that when my number's up,

[A] [Bm7] [E] [E]

When I am called by god above

[A] [Bm] [C#m] [D] [E7]

Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

[E]

Just say:

[A] [D]

Here lies love,

[Bm7] [E]

Here lies love,

[A] [D] [A]

Here lies lo--ve

[E7]

Just say:

[A] [D]

Here lies love,

[Bm7] [E]

Here lies love,

[A] [D] [A] [E]

Here lies lo--ve

Verse 3

[A] [G#] [A] [Adim]

The most important things are love and beauty

[A] [C#m7] [Bm7] [E7]

It doesn't matter if youre rich or poor

[Bm7] [C#m7]

To prosper and to fly,

[Bm7] [C#m7]

A basic human right

[Bm7] [C#m7] [E7]

The feeling in your heart that you're secure

Pre-chorus

[A] [C#m] [A]

Is it a sin to love too much?

[C#m] [A]

Is it a sin to care?

[Bm7] [E] [Bm7] [E7] N.C

I do it all for you, how can it be unfair?

Chorus

[A] [Bm7] [C#m7] [E]

I know that when my number's up,

[A] [Bm7] [E] [E]

When I am called by god above

[A] [Bm] [C#m] [D] [E7]

Don't have my name inscribed into the stone

[E]

Just say:

[A] [D]

Here lies love,

[Bm7] [E]

Here lies love,

[A] [D] [A]

Here lies lo--ve

[E7]

Just say:

[A] [D]

Here lies love,

[Bm7] [E]

Here lies love,

[A] [D] [A] [E]

Here lies lo--ve

[A] [Bm7] [C#m7] [E]

I know that when my number's up,
