                              ETTA JAMES

CAPO: 4th FRET

Intro:

C   Am   F   G5
C   Am   F   F C




Verse :
 C                Am
Drained of emotion
             F
Tears run dry

I would give anything just to feel alright

 C              Am                  F
Down on my knees   praying' for help
                            G7              G C
But sometimes you just gotta  help yourself


Chorus:
F           C          F                 C
I tried so hard to be someone you would love
 Dm            C         F           C
Seems I would never try hard hard enough

F          C
 Though I love you
       F       C
Gotta give you up
 E         Am      D        D
I'm going back to who I was

 C    F                                        C
And I do believe that a change is gonna do me good


Instrumental/Solo:
Am   F   G   C




Verse :
 C                    Am
Let's take this moment
              F
To say goodbye

Look at each other
                       C
Right straight in the eye

 C
Don't look back baby
 Am
'Cause I'll be gone
F                    G           C
 I've got my own life to carry on


Chorus:
F            C          F                 C
 I tried so hard to be someone you would love
 Dm            C         F           C
Seems I would never try hard hard enough

F          C
 Though I love you
       F       C
Gotta give you up
 E         Am      D        D
I'm going back to who I was

 C    F                                  C
And I do believe, change is gonna do me good

Am   F   F C
C   Am   F   G   G7 C


Chorus:
F            C               F             C
 I tried so hard to be with someone you'd love
 Dm            C       F        G
Seems I would never try hard enough

F          C
 Though I love you
      F         C
Got to give you up
 E         Am      D        D
I'm going back to who I was  ahhh ah

Change is gonna do me good
