Em              Em/F#   
Well come along walk with me
Em/G               Am           C    
And learn the songs that lovers sing
          Em
When they believe 
Em                  Em/F#
We'll dance along the river's edge
Em/G              Am               C
Just arm and arm along the moonlit shore
             Em
The midnight cries 

Chorus:

G                   B       C
I just came to chase the blues away
     Em
For awhile 

Verse 2:

Just like a child you'll cling to me
From every sound along that rushes near, I whisper
It's just the breeze 
That licks your skin and rubs your breast
And as we lay our rivers flow away
Your woman fear 

(chorus)
Lord I just came to chase the blues away
Ah, for awhile 

(Instrumental break:) Em7: 022030
Em / Em7 Em (x4)                  (The timing is not exactly
D / / / (x2)                       accurate.)

(do this twice, then)
G / / / / / / / F#m / / / / / / /
Em / / / / / / / (as per intro)

Verse 3:

With the morning sun we'll wake
And lift our eyes and watch the eagle fly
Up mountain high
And on his wings our love will climb
And never fail until he soars and dives
Oh, he'll take your breath away 

(chorus)
Well, he just came to chase the blues away
For awhile

As I listen to this song, I notice that when some of 
the chords change to Em, a slide up to the E note is 
heard.  At this time, the chord is: 0797xx
