Dixie Chicks   I'll Take Care Of You    written by  J.D. Souther


B         C#m      B         E
Times are hard and rents are high
B          C#7         C#m  F#
What can a working girl do
    B        C#m        D#m  E   B         C#m/E  F#   B    F#
But struggle through another day I'll take care   of   you 
B          C#m      B          E
Nights are long and dreams are cold 
B          C#7             C#m  F#
If they're all you wake up to 
B              C#m        D#m     E  B         C#m  F#  B
But should you rise with crying eyes I'll take care of  you
            G#m
So let them talk about us
         B             Bb7     D#m    C#        B
Let them call us funny things people sometimes do 
Bb7    D#m              G#                      C#m             F# 
I don't care as long as you know I love you and and you know I  do
B       C#m       B             E  C#m
I'll be there but you might not see me
B          C#7         C#m       F#
It's never easy to get through
B            C#m       D#m    E       B         C#m   F#  B
But when the laughter dies  away then I'll take care of  you
