You Were Mine

You Were Mine

Dixie Chicks

 

 

I don't have the intro, but it's a variation on an A cord with each

note played

individually then lifting your index finger for the second cord.

The note after the / is a bass part.

Great song!

 

 

A C#m/G# C#m/E(bass)

I can't find a reason, to let go

 

F#m D

Even though you found a new love,

 

F#m D

And she's what your dreams are made of.

 

A C#/G# C#m/E(bass)

I can find a reason, to hang on

 

F#m D

What went wrong can be for-given,

 

F#m D A

Without you it ain't worth living, a-lone.

 

 

Chorus

E D A D

Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

 

E D A

And sometimes I scream out your name.

 

E D A [2] your heart away

What right does she have to take [1] you away?

 

Bm D E

When for so long you were mine.

 

Verse

A C#m/G# C#m/E(bass)

I took out all the pictures of our wedding day.

 

F#m D

It was a time of love and laughter,

F#m D

happy ever after.

 

A C#m/G# C#m/E(bass)

But even those olds pictures have begun to fade,

 

F#m D

Please tell me she's not real,

 

F#m D A

And that you're really coming home to stay.

 

Chorus

 

 

 

Bridge:

D G Bm/F#m

I can give you two good reasons,

 

F C

To show you love's not blind.

 

Bm/A C#m/G# F#m D

He's two and she's four, and you know they adore you.

 

Bm C#m D E

So how can I tell them, you've changed your mind?

 

 

Chorus (Modulation)

F# E B E

Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

 

F# E B

And sometimes I scream out your name.

 

F3 E B

What right does she have to take your heart away?

 

C#m E F#

When for so long you were mine.

 

C# E F# B

I remember when you were mine.
