EmWhen all the worst we fear lets fall its weigDht
When the gyre widens on and when the wCave breaks
When St. Peter loses cool and bars Amthe gates
When BAtlas acts the maggot, makes his Emarms shake
When the birds are heard again in their Dsingin'
Once atrocity is hoarse from voiCcin' shame
And when the earth is trembling on some new beAmginnin'
With the Bsame sweet shock of when AdaC6m first came

EmBe, be, be, be, be
GBe as you've always been
CBe, be, be, be, be
AmBe as you've always been
(Lover, be good to me)

Em Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
G Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
That Cfreed the first man and will Amdo so again
And, Emlover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
It's Gbeen deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
Which Cside of the wall really Amsuffers that cost?
Oh, Emlover, be good to me

When the man who gives the order
Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back
When the bodies starvin' at the border
Are on TV givin' people the sack
Oh, when the sea rises to meet us
Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
Oh, when there's nobody upstairs to receive us
When I have no kind words left, love for you

Be, be, be, be, be
Be as you've always been
Be, be, be, be, be
Be as you've always been
(Lover, be good to me)

Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
And watches the slowin' and starvin' of troops
And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Be there and just as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover, be good to me)
That will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
Oh, lover, be good to me

Love, won't you Embe
Love, won't you be
Be as you've Galways been?
Love, won't you Cbe
Love, won't you Ambe
Be as you've Emalways been?
Love, won't you Embe
Love, won't you be
Be as you've Galways been?
Love, won't you Cbe
Love, won't you Ambe
Be as you've Emalways been?
