Verse 1:
Em                                        G  
 When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight
                                     C
When the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
                                   Am
When St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
     B7                               Em
When Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
                                        G  
When the birds are heard again in their singin'
                                C
Once atrocity is hoarse from voicin' shame
                                              Am
And when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
         B7                        C6
With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came
 
Pre-chorus:
Em
Be, be, be, be, be
Gmaj7
Be as you've always been
C
Be, be, be, be, be
Am
Be as you've always been

(Lover, be good to me)
 
Chorus 1:
Em
 Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
G
 Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
     C                            Am
That freed the first man and will do so again
     Em
And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em
 Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
     G
It's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
      C                       Am
Which side of the wall really suffers that cost?
    Em
Oh, lover, be good to me
 
Instrumental: | Em | G |
 
Verse 2:
         Em
When the man who gives the order
   G  
Is born next time 'round on the boat sent back
         C
When the bodies starvin' at the border
       Am                   B7
Are on TV givin' people the sack
             Em
Oh, when the sea rises to meet us
                 G  
Oh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
                   C
Oh, when there's nobody upstairs to receive us
            Am                           B7   C6
When I have no kind words left, love for you
 
Pre-chorus:
Em
Be, be, be, be, be
Gmaj7
Be as you've always been
C
Be, be, be, be, be
Am
Be as you've always been

(Lover, be good to me)
 
Chorus 2:
  Em
Ah, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
G
 Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
    C                       Am
And watches the slowin' and starvin' of troops
     Em
And, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em
 Be there and just as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
G
 Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover, be good to me)
               C                    Am
That will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
    Em
Oh, lover, be good to me
 
Outro:
                Em
Love, won't you be

Love, won't you be
             G
Be as you've always been?
                C
Love, won't you be
                Am
Love, won't you be
             Em
Be as you've always been?
                Em
Love, won't you be

Love, won't you be
             G
Be as you've always been?
                C
Love, won't you be
                Am
Love, won't you be
             Em            Em
Be as you've always been?
