Edwin McCain - I'll Be Transpose up Transpose down

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 Fsus4D

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
