Van Morrison. From the 1989 Album Avalon Sunset.
The versions on the site are not quite right for Van's original so I'm posting this one.
Any corrections/comments most welcome.
Key of E. Best played with Capo 4 in C relative to Capo
I don't know how to write up the chord shapes, but the only unusual one is the Fmaj7 -
like an open Emaj7 but with the first fret barred. the F/G refers to an F chord with a G
in the Bass and 5th string muted
Intro: C Em7 Fmaj7 F/G PLAY TWICE
CHORUS
C Em7 F F/G
Have I told you lately that I love you?
C Em7 F F/G
Have I told you there's no one above you?
Fmaj7 Em7 Dm7
Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness,
Dm7 C F/G
ease my troubles that's what you do
VERSE
C Em7 F F/G
Ah the morning sun in all its glory
C Em7 F F/G Fmaj7
greets the day with hope and comfort too
Em7 Dm7
And you fill my life with laughter you can make it better
Dm7 C F/G
ease my troubles that's what you do.
BRIDGE
Dmin7 C/E
Fmaj7
There's a love that's divine
Em7 Dm7 Em7
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun.
Fmaj7
And at the end of the day
Em7 F/G
we should give thanks and pray to the one
CHORUS
Say - Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness, take away my sadness,
ease my troubles that's what you do.
Instrumental solo: Same chords and tempo as Verse 1.
