If I fell

Lennon / McCartney – Beatles: A Hard Day’s Night (1964)

 


     Ebm

If I fell in love with you

                     D

Would you promise to be true

         Db         Bbm

And help me understand

                   Ebm

'Cause I've been in love before

          D

And found that love is more

         Em                 A

Than just holding hands

 

       D    Em  F#m      Em

If I give my heart to you

    A                                  D Em F#m

I must be sure from the very  start

        Em              A                               D   Em  A

That you would love me more than her

 

       D    Em F#m

If I trust in you

      Em                 A

Oh please, don't run and hide

       D    Em  F#m

If I love you too

      Em                 A                             D9

Oh please, don't hurt my pride like her

                                             G

Cause I couldn't stand the pain

     Gm                                           D                 A7

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

 

         D     Em     F#m

So I hope you'll see

      Em           A    

That I would love to love you

D     Em  F#m       Em

And that she will cry

     A                                   D9

When she learns we are two

                                             G

Cause I couldn't stand the pain

     Gm                                           D                 A7

And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

 

So I hope you'll see

That I would love to love you

And that she will cry

When she learns we are two

     Gm                        D     (End:)

If I fell in love with you
