 Charlie Major                     I'm Here
 INTRO A
 A
 The lightning flashed and the thunder roared
      D              A
 and woke me from a dream.
 
 I opened my eyes afraid of the dark
      D                   A
 and all that I could not see.
 
 E                 A   
 Into the night I cried out in fright
     D           A
 Oh mama I'm so scared
 E                A
 come and hold me in your arms 
 D                          E
 Protect me from whats out there.
 
               A
 She said I'm right here beside you,
         D
 you've nothin to fear.
       A                         E
 It's only a storm and soon the skies will be clear
      A                  D
 So close your eyes and drift off to sleep
 A                      E
 right by your side is where I'll be
 D                     E      A
 as long as you need me I'm here.
 
 A
 In a hospital bed she lays in the dark
 D                      A
 thirty years come and gone.
 
 Slippin away with every breath
 D                   A
 desperately holding on.
 
 E                   A
 Into the night she cries out in fright
 D              A
 Oh son I'm so scared
 E                    A
 come and hold me cause I don't know
       D                    E
 What's waiting for me out there
 
          A
 I said I'm right her beside you,
      D
 you've nothin to fear
      A                          E
 It's only the dark and soon the way will be clear
    A                    D
 so close your eyes and drift off to sleep
 A                     E
 right by your side is where I'll be.
 D                     E     A
 As long as you need me I'm here.
 D                     E     A
 As long as you need me I'm here.
