version 2
Basically, I play this song with a capo on 4. I think you can play it was 4 on
the recording. Either way, depending on your range you can move the capo.
It has 4 main chords which are: D, G, C, A
The intro just alternates between D and G a few times then it starts..
D G
they say were young, but they don't know
D G C A
we won't find out, until we grow
D G
well I don't know if all thats true
D G C A
cuz you got me and baby I got you
Chorus:
D G
Babe
G D
I got you babe
G D
I got you Babe
Repeat verse chords here for second verse
Bridge:
Em A
I got flowers, In the Spring
Em A
I got you, you wear my ring
D Bm
And when I'm sad, youre a clown
G ( Slide up to the Bar Chord A on the 5th Fret)
and when I'm scared, youre always around
I'm not sure how to transpose the rest of the song after the key change but it doesn't
horrible if you go back to using regular chords after that (D, G, C, A)
Note: the "C" that I play I just use the G chord and move it up two strings because its
quick change, so I play the C like 032033
When I play the A after the C, I like to play Asus and then hammer on to A
