Please note that this is my interpretation of the song and is to be used for study and research only.

This is based on the version from James Taylor's 'One Man Band' live DVD that I caught on BBC 4 one night, I did not really know him well, but was moved by that version of this song:

Lovin's for fools - Sarah Siskind (covered by Bon Iver)

(Capo on 2nd fret, I will give the chord names as if they were played without a Capo, in actual fact the song is in G)

If there is something, Roxy Music, Guitar tab

This represents my own interpretation of the song, and is intended solely for educational purposes

(ferry)

C                                      F/ F7

If there is something that I might find

C

Look around corners

F/F7

Try to find peace of mind I say

G                                                Bb
Where would you go if you were me

C#                                       F7

Try to keep a straight course not easy

Somebody special looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be I mean
If there are many
Meaning the same
Be specific just a game

Csus4                    
I would do anything for you

Bb

I would climb mountains

Ab                         G7
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score

C                                          Bb

Shake your hair girl with your ponytail

F                                             G7
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
