Verse: 

 G 
In a castle 
Bm 
  Down a long road 
Dm                   C 
  A little girl was born 
G 
  To a king and 
Bm 
  To a queen and 
Dm                   C 
  Her mother’s eyes welled with tears of joy 
Cm                     G 
  Staring at the tiny face 
B                   C 
  Of a miracle she made 


 
 G         D     Em   C 
She would say I love you 
Am               F    G  G 
She would say I love you 


Verse: 
 G 
Summer came and went 
Bm 
  Unrolling  
Dm            C 
  Trees all stripped to the bone 
G 
  Daddy’s little girl  
Bm 
  In his arms, well 
Dm                    C 
  They sit upon his throne 
Cm 
  Who is that thief  
 G 
Hiding in the dark 
 B                                 C 
Just a little girl who stole his heart

He would say I love you

He would say I love you 


BREAK: 
Bm                               Em 
  With only these three words repeating 
           C 
A simple greeting  
                        G 
But it’s all you would keep 
Bm                        B 
  Clever lips can be misleading 
   C 
A tongue can fly away 
    Em     G    A 
And won’t come back 
         G 
But it’s only these words  
D             G Bm Dm C    Cm G Em A C D 
We recognize 


Verse: 
G 
  6 o’clock A.M

 Awoken from a dream 
G 
  No more castle  
Bm 
  Down a long road 
Dm                  C 
  No more kings and no more queens 
Cm                               G 
  But she’s a princess none the less 
B                                       C 
  And a handsome prince is what she’ll get 



G        D     Em   C   
He will say I love you 
G        D     Em   C   
He will say I love you 
G        D     Em   C   
He will say I love you 
Am             F    G 
He will say I love you 
Am             F    G 
He will say I love you 
Am             F    G   Bm  Dm  C  G 
He will say I love you
