Edwin McCain - I'll Be
Originally in B, I play in G
Highest note that matters is the 5 (“*I’ll* be”)
GCGC
Vox on the 3 on “strands”
The sGtrands in your eyes that cColor them wonderful
GStop me and steal my breaD/F#th C/E
And Gemeralds from mountains, tChrust towards the sky
GNever revealing their depD/F#th C/E
Vox up to the 5 on “tell”
GTell D/F#me that wC/Ee belong togeD/F#ther
GDress it up D/F#with the C/Etrappings of loD/F#ve
I’ll bGe captivD/F#ated, I’ll hC/Eang from yD/F#our lips
Chords change slower on this line
InsteGad of the gallows of hearD/F#tache that hang from aC/Ebove D
And I’Gll G/Ebe yoCur crying shoulder
GI’ll be love’s D/F#suiciC/Ede
And GI’ll be Cbetter when I’m olC/Eder
GI’ll be the grD/F#eatest C/Efan of your Glife
GCGD/F#→ C/E
Hard stop on “falls”
And Grain falls, anCgry on the tin roof
GAs we lie awake in my bD/F#edC/E
And Gyou’re my survival, you’re mCy living proof
My lGove is alive and not dD/F#ead C/E
And Gtell D/F#me that wC/Ee belong togeD/F#ther
GDress it up D/F#with the C/Etrappings of loD/F#ve
I’ll bGe captivD/F#ated, I’ll hC/Eang from yD/F#our lips
InsteGad of the gallows of hearD/F#tache that hang from aC/EboveD
And I’Gll G/Ebe yoCur crying shoulder
GI’ll be love’s D/F#suiciC/Ede
And GI’ll be Cbetter when I’m olC/Eder
GI’ll be the grD/F#eatest C/Efan of your Glife
Vox on 7 1 of the key on “dropped”
And I’ve dEmropped out, I burned up
I foDught my way back from the dCead
I Emtuned in, I turned on
RemDembered the thing that you, Csaid Fsus4→ D
And I’Gll G/Ebe yoCur crying shoulder
GI’ll be love’s D/F#suiciC/Ede
And GI’ll be Cbetter when I’m olC/Eder
GI’ll be the grD/F#eatest C/Efan of your Glife
