The dashes are beats, so for example, if it says /--/ you play for the
first two beats and for the last two.
/-CM7-/--/---/--/
Sorry, is all that you can say
Years gone by and
/-CM7-/--/---/--/--/
Still, words don't come easily
Like sorry, like sorry
/-CM7-/--/---/--/
Forgive me, is all that you can say
Years gone by and
/-CM7-/--/---/--/--/
Still, words don't come easily
Like forgive me, forgive me
But you can say
Baby, baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh at the right time, you'd be mine
/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/
I love you, is all that you can say
Years gone by and
/C-CM7-/F-G-/Dm7---/F-G-/Gsus4-G-/
Still, words don't come easily
Like I love you, I love you , no
But you can say
Baby, baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh at the right time, you'd be mine
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
Ooh at the right time, you'd be mine
You'd be mine
You'd be mine
I love the Fm6 chord, it really adds a lot to the song.
