Biography:
Terry Callier (24 May 1945 - 28 Oct 2012) was an American jazz, soul and folk guitarist and singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Callier, a childhood friend of Curtis Mayfield, began recording in 1963 but never reached stardom despite a series of regional hits in the 1960s and 70s and three outstanding albums for Cadet: 'Occasional Rain' (1972), 'What Color Is Love' (1973) and 'I Just Can't Help Myself' (1974). In 1983, he gained custody of his 12-year-old daughter Sundiata and decided to retire from music to look for a steadier income.

verse 1
G Am Bm7 Cmaj7
I could take my guitar and hit the road
Bm Am
try to be a star
Am G
That sort of thing just don't appeal to me
G Am
I could play some one night stands
Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm
Travelin' light a one man band
Bm Am G
But I know this is where I'de rather be
Bm Am
It's your bright sunshine that lifted all the shadows off my
mind
Bm Am
Yeah your sweet love led me to a brighter day
Bm Am
So you never have to worry bout me leaving you behind
Bm Am D7
Wait and see I won't ever turn away
(chorus)
G Am
Cause you made my dream come true
Bm7 Cmaj7 Bm Am
And gave my life new meaning too and more than anything

verse 2
G Am Bm7 CM7
Now this ghetto life is hard in our concrete front yard
Bm Am G
Nothing grows except a single tree to mark our place
G Am Bm7
But the moment that I'm with you girl your light and love
Cmaj7 Bm Am G
Shine through and then I realize you're my saving grace
Bm Am
I could catch that old greyhound head up north and bum
around
Bm Am
Watch the sun set on the San Francisco Bay
Bm Am
But you mean so much to me I could never put you down
Bm Am D7
That would be to big a price for me to pay
(chorus)
G Am Bm7
Cause you made my dream come true and gave my life new
Cmaj7
meaning too

I got tired of not ever seeing any of this great, and practically unknown,
artist's songs on any tab and chord sites. It's my first time posting songs.
Hope it's helpful. Comments, corrections, suggestions, welcome.
