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.
