If I Were A Boy bass tab by Beyoncé

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

Verse:
      Am F C
If I were a boy
   G     Am  F C
Even just for a day
        Am     F
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
  C        G     Am  F C
And throw on what I wanted and go


  G          Am  F C
I'd drink beer with the guys
  G      Am   F C
And chase after girls
  Am         F
I'd kick it with who I wanted
    C      G        Am
And I'd never get confronted for it
       F       C
'Cause they'd stick up for me

Chorus:
G      Am  F  C
If I were a boy
     G     Am   F  C G
I think I could understand
    Am       F
How it feels to love a girl
 C       G     Am  F C
I swear I'd be a, a better man

Verse:
G      Am  F  C
If I were a boy
    G    Am    F  C G
I would turn off my phone
   Am      F
Tell everyone it's broken
     C        G       Am F  C
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone


  G      Am  F  C
I'd put myself first
       G    Am    F  C
And make the rules as I go, oh oh
 G      Am         F
Oh, 'cause I know that she'd be faithful
C      G      Am
Waiting for me to come home
 F      C
Oh, to come home


Chorus:
    G    Am  F  C
And if I were a boy
     G    Am  F  C G
I think I would understand
    Am       F
How it feels to love a girl
 C       G       Am  F C
I swear I'd be a, oh, a better man


    G     Am  F C
And I'd listen to her
     G    Am   F  C G
'Cause I know how it hurts
     Am        F
When you lose the one you wanted
      C       G
'Cause he's taking you for granted
  F             C     Dm
And everything you had got destroyed


Bridge:
    F     Am    G     Dm
It's a little too late for you to come back
     F     Am         G         Dm
Say it's just a mistake, think I'd forgive you like that
    F        Am   G         F
If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong


Chorus:
N.C.        Am F  C
But you're just a boy
  G    Am   F  C G
You don't understand
    Am       F
How it feels to love a girl someday
  C        G       Am F C
You wish you were a, oh, a better man

Verse:
       G     Am  F C
Oh, you don't listen to her
       G    Am  F  C G
And you don't care how it hurts
     Am        F
Until you lose the one you wanted
       C       G
'Cause you're taking her for granted
  Dm7             F
And everything you had got destroyed


Outro:
N.C.        Am F  C G
But you're just a boy
