5: c c g d = Csus2
6: a c c c = Am (strictly Am3 as no perfect 5th)
7: g c c b = Cmaj7/G (without major 3rd)
Notes:
I’ve suggested putting a capo on first fret instead of just tuning it down half a
step less
but you can do it either way.
I’ve included the Csus2 chord at the end of every line below but he doesn’t
always play
it. Sometimes he just picks a note or two and sometimes he strums it up from the
sixth
to the third string. As with all JM songs, he played them a bit differently each
time
so just go with the flow. If you want to learn the picking/slap pattern there are
a
couple of good tutorials on youtube.
Csus4/F C/E F C/E Csus2
If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me

Am Cmaj7/G F C/E Csus2

If you loved me till my eyes could no more shine for you
If you walked beside me all the long way home
If you wasted all of your time on me
Well I couldn’t love you more
Just couldn’t love you more
I couldn’t love you more
Just couldn’t love you more.
If you gave me all the things I’d never ask of you
If you showed me all the ways you have to cry
If you lay all night in the rain for me
I couldn’t love you more
Just couldn’t love you more
Just couldn’t love you more

version 3
Capo:no capo
He tunes his guitar to CFCGgd when he plays the acoustic version
and I wanted to find a way to play it in regular tuning in order to
evade tuning my guitar every time I want to play it. This was tabbed
on a classical guitar but I hope it sounds just as good on a different one.
Listen to the song to get the rythm down, I didn't tab the exact timing
of the notes.

And if you told me all the lies that I deserve
And if you laid all night in the rain for me
Well, I couldn't love you more
Just couldn't love you more

If you walked beside me all the long way home
