I can fulfill my dream...
My love is far beyond this reality
and far beyond this plane"

CHERISH

Terry Kirkman

 

        Intro:
	Fmaj9 [xx7988]  Ebmaj9 [xx5766]
	Fmaj9      Ebmaj9

	Bum - bum - bum - bum

        Verse 1:
	Fmaj9                Gm7/C [xx5766]   Ebmaj9   Gm7/C

	Cherish is the word I use to describe

	        Fmaj9                      Gm7/C              Ebmaj9 Gm7/C

	All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside

	               Am7                                    Bb

	You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you

	               Am7                                      Bb

	You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you

	               Am7

	You don't know how many times I've wished that I could

	Bb       Am7  Gm7

	Mold you into someone who could

	Bb                               C   [hammer-on: xx555x->xx756x]

	Cherish me as much as I cherish you
        Verse 2:
	Perish is the word that more than applies

	To the hope in my heart each time I realize

	That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams

	That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes

	That I am not gonna be the one to share what

	Seems to be the life that you could

	Cherish as much as I do yours
        Bridge:
	         Gm7                    C

	Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found

	     Am7                           E

	The words that could make you want me

	               C                        F             Dm/C

	That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound

	           Bb             Gm7

	That could make you hear, make you see

	              Eb                   C

	That you are drivin' me out of my mind
	                 Fmaj9                     C

	Oh I could say I need you  but then you'd realize

	       Cm                     D9

	That I want you  just like a thousand other guys

	                Bb                       C

	Who'd say they loved you   With all the rest of their lies

	               Dm            /Bb        /A         /G

	When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands

	                    Eb   C    D7

	And gaze into your eyes
        Verse 3 

        [words same as verse 1, chord progression completely different]:
	G                      C               Bb    C

	Cherish is the word I use to describe

	G                            C                           Bb    C

	All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside

	               Bm7                                    C

	You don't know how many times I've wished that I had told you

	               Bm7                                      C

	You don't know how many times I've wished that I could hold you

	               Bm7

	You don't know how many times I've wished that I could

	C        Bm7   Am7

	Mold you into someone who could

	F                                D

	Cherish me as much as I cherish you
        Coda:
	[N.C.] D        G  C    D

	And I do       cherish you

	 G  C  D        G  C    D

	And I do       cherish you
	[N.C.]

	Cherish is the word
	guitar 1 [w/tremolo]:	                               

	

 

This song is lovingly dedicated to
"My beloved wife,Pam"
"who has for 32 years held my heart captive of her love.
I hope and pray that this may be a life sentence,
for I have cherished every moment of our life
together since the two of us became one!"

From C. Bartock
