14 One in My Life © John Brown

This is a first! All the (160+) songs I have recorded so far have been my own original compositions - but this is a previously unrecorded song by John Brown of Gasworks fame, written some time in the 1980s. I originally did this as a tribute recording to go up on the 'Whatever Happened to Gasworks' website - but it's a great song and John has kindly given me permission to use it on 'German Hat Trick'. I've arranged it for guitar, Gypsy violin and accordion... Steve Franks thinks I've given it a rather sinister air - more of a creepy stalker song than a love song! (He did an even creepier German Techno version for the Gasworks site, so what does he know...) Anyway, thanks for letting me use it John!
 

Am
You are the one in my life
Dm
The one I get up for at a crazy hour
Am
You are the one in my life
E
You got a hold of me with your secret power
 
         Dm        Am        
But if only you loved me
    Dm        Am
If only you loved me
    E
If only you loved me
                                                     E7
I'd do anything even make you my wife.
 
You are the one in my life
You walk all over me in your velvet shoes
You are the one in my life
For you I'd even swear off the booze
 
But if only you loved me
If only you loved me
If only you loved me
I'd never touch a drop for the rest of my life
 
D          
Baby, baby, I beg you please
Dm
I swear to God down upon my knees
Bm                            Dm
I'd let you live such a life of ease
     E           E7
If only you loved me.
 
You are the one in my life
The lead in my pencil, the hole in my stencil
You are the one in my life
You are the gravy in my hot utensil
 
But if only you loved me
If only you loved me
If only you loved me
I'd do anything to make you my wife.
 
Because,  You are the one in my life….
