Charlie Major                     I'm Here 
 
INTRO A 
A 
The lightning flashed and the thunder roared 
     D              A 
and woke me from a dream. 
 
I opened my eyes afraid of the dark 
     D                   A 
and all that I could not see. 
 
E                 A    
Into the night I cried out in fright 
    D           A 
Oh mama I'm so scared 
E                A 
come and hold me in your arms  
D                          E 
Protect me from whats out there. 
 
              A 
She said I'm right here beside you, 
        D 
you've nothin to fear. 
      A                         E 
It's only a storm and soon the skies will be clear 
     A                  D 
So close your eyes and drift off to sleep 
A                      E 
right by your side is where I'll be 
D                     E      A 
as long as you need me I'm here.

In a hospital bed she lays in the dark 
D                      A 
thirty years come and gone. 
 
Slippin away with every breath 
D                   A 
desperately holding on. 
 
E                   A 
Into the night she cries out in fright 
D              A 
Oh son I'm so scared 
E                    A 
come and hold me cause I don't know 
      D                    E 
What's waiting for me out there 
 
         A 
I said I'm right her beside you, 
     D 
you've nothin to fear 
     A                          E 
It's only the dark and soon the way will be clear 
   A                    D 
so close your eyes and drift off to sleep 
A                     E 
right by your side is where I'll be. 
D                     E     A 
As long as you need me I'm here. 
D                     E     A 
As long as you need me I'm here.
