...WILL YOU BE THERE... by Michael Jackson
-----------------------...................
*from 'Dangerous' (1991)*
[Intro:]
[D] [Em/D] [D], [G]/[D] [D], [Em/D] [D], [A] (x2)
[Verse 1:]
[D] [Em/D] [D]
Hold me, like the River Jordan,
[G/D] [D] [Em/D] [D] [A]
And I will then say to thee; you are my friend.
[Verse 2:]
[D] [Em/D] [D]
Carry me, like you are my brother,
[G/D] [D] [Em/D] [D] [A]
Love me like a mother; will you be there?
[Interlude:]
[D] [Em/D] [D], G/[D] [D], [Em/D] [D], [A] (x2)
[Verse 3:]
[D] [Em/D] [D]
When weary, tell me; will you hold me?
[G/D] [D] [Em/D] [D] [A]
When wrong will you scold me; when lost, will you find me?
[Verse 4:]
[D] [Em/D] [D]
But they told me; a man should be faithful,
[G/D] [D]
And walk when not able,
[Em/D] [D] [A]
And fight 'till the end, but I'm only human.
[Interlude:]
[D] [Em/D] [D], G/[D] [D], [Em/D] [D], [A] (x2)
[Middle 8:]
[F] [D#] [D]
Everyone's taking con-trol of me,
[F] [D#] [D]
Seems that the world's got a role for me.
[F] [D#] [D]
I'm so con-fused; will you show to me;
[C] [A]
You'll be there for me, and care enough to bear me?
