What i would say Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][G][Em][Dm][G]
[Am]
[F]She was a lovely girl,

[Verse 1]
[G]
a charming [Em]brown eyed [Am]beauty
You were the bright young man
[G]who swept [Em]her off [G]her feet
The high school class ring soon be
[Am]came a wedding [Dm]band[Am][G]
And you went [Em]off to sail the sea
[Am]s for Uncle Sa[F]m[Am]
[F]But they say it was the
[G]demon in [Em]the bottle
[F]That took you far away nev[G]er to ret[Em]urn[G]
And you never knew [Am]your son would be
[F]my father[G]
And now sometimes I think
[Am]about you [G]and I [F]wonder
If I could talk to you what

[Verse 2]
words would I choose
[G]I would say I[Am] wish I could
have known [F]you
And [G]I would say I[Am] wish
you [F]would´ve stayed
But [G]most of all [Am]I would say
[F]I forgive you

[Verse 3]
[F]
I know your love was strong I [G]read
it in your let[Em]ters[G][F]
I read how hard you [Am]tried to [G]break
free from the chains
I know we all could say how you
[Am]should have done bet[F]ter
[G]And wear our anger and
resent[Am]ment [G]like a fet[F]ter
But that´s why I would say this to you [G]if
[Am]I co[F]uld.[G][Am][F]
[G][Am][F][Bb]
(chorus)
I´d love to tell you how the [F]lovely girl
[Am]you married
She´s been my [F#dim]hero and
a treas[G]ure to us [Em]all[Am]
I know you´d be [F#dim]proud of the[G] way
your name´s been car[Em]ried[C]
[F]These are things I would love to tell [G]you if
[Am]I could[F][Am][F][G][Am][F][Am]
[G][Am][F]
I wish [Fm]you were here to [G]hear what I would say
