[Verse 1]
N.C.
I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
N.C.
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
N.C.
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
N.C.
I would give you all I have, give you everything

If you'd just take me, just take me now

If you'd just take me
[Verse 2]

Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
B5 A5 E5 B5
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
C5 C#5 D5 E5
Love is all you need, all you need now
N.C. B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
If you just take me
[Verse 3]
B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
B5 A5 E5 B5
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
C5 C#5 D5 E5
Love is all you need, all you need now
N.C. B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5 B5 A5 E5
If you just take me

[Backwater / Just Take Me]
Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me and she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road
In a house on the corner looking over the track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road
Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along?
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?
Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning and she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road
I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me
Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me
