IF I FELL
                             The Beatles
                          (Lennon/McCartney)
                       A Hard Day's Night (1964)   

      Ebm
If I fell in love with you,
            D
Would you promise to be true
     Db      Bbm
And help me understand?
             Ebm
'Cause I've been in love before, 
      D
And found that love was more
      Em            A
Than just holding hands.

      D   Em  F#m     Em
If I give my heart to you,
   A                     D  Em  F#m
I must be sure from the  very  start
     Em         A                 D   Gm  A
That you would love me more than her.

       D   Em  F#m
If I trust in  you,
     Em           A
Oh please, don't run and hide.
      D   Em  F#m
If I love you too,
   Em             A                 D9
Oh please, don't hurt my pride like her.
                            G
Cause I couldn't stand the pain,
    Gm                         D           A7
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.


      D    Em    F#m
So I hope you'll see 
     Em        A     
That I would love to love you
 D   Em  F#m      Em
And that she will cry
      A                D9
When she learns we are two
                            G
Cause I couldn't stand the pain,
    Gm                         D           A7
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.


      D    Em    F#m
So I hope you'll see 
     Em        A     
That I would love to love you
 D   Em  F#m      Em
And that she will cry
      A                 D
When she learns we are two
     Gm                 D
If I fell in love with you
Gm    D
