Ready For Love Tab

by India Arie


Just thought I'd finish what Lyrical posted, and make a couple minor corrections. Remember to add
some flavor to the chords, ie: D at the end of a verse. I also gave examples of Em(9) & D6/9...easy
chords, but sometimes hard to find in some chord books. Enjoy!

Ready For Love
                                              (9)
VERSE 1
     Em(9)                                    --O--
I am ready for love                           --O--
                                              --O--
            D                                 --4--
Why are you hiding from me                    --2--
                                        Low E --O--
            
I’d quickly give my freedom

         
To be held in your captivity

VERSE 2
     (9)
I am ready for love

            
All of the joy and the pain

            
And all the time that it takes

            
Just to stay in your good grace

BRIDGE 1                                       D6/9
     Em             D6/9                       --O--
Lately I’ve been thinking                      --O--
                                               --2--
             Cmaj7         B7sus B7 Em(9)      --O--
Maybe you’re not ready for me                  --X--
                                               --X--
                                 
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity

         
They say watch what you ask for 

      (9)
Cause you might receive 

           
But if you ask me tomorrow
 
                        
I’ll say the same thing

VERSE 3   
     (9)
I am ready for love

                 
Would you please lend me your ear?

          
I promise I won’t complain 

       
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

BRIDGE 2
                
If you give me half a chance

                   (9)
I‘ll prove this to you

                                  
I will be patience, kind, faithful and true

     
To a man who loves music

  (9)
A man who loves art

?        
Respect’s the spirit world

                         
And thinks with his heart

                

VERSE 4
     (9)   
I am ready for love

               
If you’ll take me in your hands

            
I will learn what you teach

           
And do the best that I can

VERSE 5
     (9)
I am ready for love

            
Here with a offering of
 

My voice


My Eyes


       
My soul



My mind

        
Tell me what is enough

                           (9) 
To prove I am ready...... for love

            (9)
I am ready…
