True Companion by Marc Cohn

Capo 3rd fret

Intro:

G/C   G/B  G


Verse:
C G D G repeated until "I'm gonna climb the mountain" where it changes
to
D G C G

Then at "My arms are reaching out"

It goes to Em  G

Then back to C  G  D G for the last part

It then repeats twice more to make the entire song.  Sorry this is so
brief but I'm at work.

Here are the lyrics to True Companion by Marc Cohn.  You caught me on a good
day - when I had time to type them all in.

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel
And sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes I'll climb the mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me

My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True Companion
True Companion

So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you allright

And when I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll life up your veil

Then I'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion

When the years have done
Irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like that couple on the corner do
Cause girl I will always be in love with you

And when I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting
For my true companion
True companion
True companion


I hope this helps.  Together with the previously posted chords, you should be
fine.
