What I Found
G C G D7 G
G C
I found me a hollow ‘neath an old oak tree
G D7
And it made so much clear to me
G
‘bout the wind and the ways
C
That is sweeps and it sways
G D7 G
Through all my weary days
Repeat chord sequence
I found me a river that swam deep and wide
And how it opened up my eyes
To the clouds every day
That go drifting away
To find me bluer skies
Chorus
C G
And this day has turned to night
G
And so much has gone wrong
D7
But so much is right
G C
And it’s brought you hear to lay with me
G D7 G
And hold my body tight
Verse
I found me a little old friendly toad
And how he loosened up my load
And he taught me to jump
And to live and be free
And let my worries be
I found me a rose her petals abloom
And how she taught me to make room
For the bees and their stings
And the terrible things
That wake me through the night
Chorus
And this day has turned to night
And sometimes it goes wrong
But mostly it’s right
And it’s brought you here to lay with me
And hold my body tight
Verse
I found me the most precious jewel of a stone
And I picked him up and I carried him home
And he taught me that life
Is not best spent alone
So I carried him back the next day
I found me a mountain both solid and firm
And on it I would build my home
For to last through the years
And the joys and the tears
And stand for days to come
Chorus
And these days, they turn to night
And nothing is wrong and there’s oh so much right
And it’s brought you here to lay with me
And hold my body tight
And it’s brought you here to lay with me
And we’ll hold each other tight
