If I Asked You
Elton John / Bernie Taupin
demo (1968)

A - D - A

      D			  A
If I asked you would you say no to me
     Bm				  A
If I asked you would you give me time to see
G				E
To get it straight with you, to get my cards placed right
     Bm			 D/A		  A
If I asked you would you say that it's alright

      D			     A
And I look again, I see the smile upon your face
   Bm				 A
I know that I have tried and won a place beside you
G				E
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not stepping out of line
         Bm		     D/A		A
And I'll prove that I'm the love for you if you give me time

       D		A
If you asked me I would lay my world before you
      Bm				A
If you asked me I would kneel down here and adore you
G			     E
Don't let me go I don't want anyone to see
        Bm	     D/A		   A
And I'd buy you anything you wished if you, if you asked me

D - Bm - A - G - E - Bm - D/A - A

       D	   A
I write your name again, again
Bm			   A
In the frosted glass of my window pane
G				E
I just pray each time the day is through
     Bm		      D/A              A
That tomorrow I'll be yours if I asked you
     Bm		      D/A	       A
That tomorrow I'll be yours if I asked you
     Bm		      D/A		A
That tomorrow will be yours if I asked you
D - E        A
	If I asked you
