PART 1:

E(no5) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3)* Asus2 A7sus4

It's getting to the point, where I'm no fun anymore, I am sorry

E(no3) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3)* Asus2 A7sus4

Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud, I am lonely

E(no3) B(no3) Asus2 A7sus4 E(no3) Asus2

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard

 

 

E(no5) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3)* Asus2 A7sus4

Remember what we've said, and done, and felt about each other, oh babe, have mercy

E(no3) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3)* Asus2 A7sus4

Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now, I am not dreaming

E(no3) B(no3) Asus2 A7sus4 REPEAT INTRO

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard

 

 

E(no5) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3) Asus2

Tearing yourself away from me now, you are free and I am crying

E(no3) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3) Asus2 A7sus4

This does not mean I don't love you, I do, that's forever, yes and for always

E(no3) B(no3) Asus2 A7sus4 E(no3) Asus2

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard

 

 

E(no5) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3)* Asus2 A7sus4

Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret, are you still listening?

E(no3) Asus2 E(no3) B(no3)* Asus2 A7sus4

Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart, and I love you

E(no3) B(no3) Asus2 A7sus4 E(no3) Asus2

I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, you make it hard

E(no3) Asus2 E(no3) Asus2 E(no3)

And you make it hard, and you make it hard, and you make it hard

SPANISH ADDITION:

At the end of the Suite Stephen Stills sings the following Spanish lines:

Que linda me la traiga Cuba,

la reina de la Mar Caribe.

Cielo sol no tiene sangreahi,

y que triste que no puedo vaya,

Oh va, oh va, va.

 

Loosely translated that is:

How happy it makes me to think of Cuba,

the smiles of the Caribbean Sea,

Sunny sky has no blood, and how sad that

I'm not able to go

Oh go, oh go go

(Thanks David L'Heureux).

Stills said in the liner notes on the Box Set: "The little kicker at the end about  Cuba was just to liven it up because it had gone on forever and I didn't want it to just fall apart. I said, 'Now that we've sung all these lyrics about one thing, let's change the subject entirely.' And we did. Even did it in a different language just to make sure that nobody could understand it".

 

NOTES I: B(no3)* means alternate between B(no3) and B6(no3) like a blues rhythm  pattern E(no5) can substitute E(no3) since they are so similar. Asus2 can be played with all the strings barred at the 5th fret for a fuller sound. I also like to play all the 12th string harmonics each time after he says "I am yours".

NOTE from 4 WaySite: we have more information on the Spanish part; check the FAQ section  > Songs.
