CAPO III (Original Key) CAPO II (Performance)


Verse 1:

   D MajorD    G+G     D MajorD
They all sat around in a circle
              G+G       A augmentedA
They were laughing and all telling lies
     G+G      A augmentedA      G+G    A augmentedA
Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar
    D MajorD       A augmentedA     D MajorD    A augmentedA
He said boys I've got nothing to hide
      D MajorD      G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA
Now if the King and the Queen stood together
     D MajorD      G+G     A augmentedA
Then the ace he would not be to blame
      G+G       A augmentedA      D MajorD   G+G
And if the cards were all laid on the table
   D MajorD       A augmentedA      D MajorD
Then love could be more than a game

Chorus:

      G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
And if the stars didn't shine on the water
           C majorC      G+G
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
    D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And if I were the man you wanted
    D MajorD     A augmentedA     D MajorD
I would not be the man that I am


Verse 2:

  D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD       G+G
And I have seen my share of long nights
  D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD   A augmentedA
And I have told my share of lies
  G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD     G+G
And I have run into the darkness
   D MajorD     A augmentedA      D MajorD   G+G
When I saw the look in your eyes
      D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD    G+G
But if the night didn't lie in the darkness
     D MajorD       G+G     A augmentedA
Then the daylight would be hard to find
      G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD    G+G
And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness
       D MajorD     A augmentedA     D MajorD
I would have never have spoken my mind

Chorus:

      G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
And if the stars didn't shine on the water
           C majorC      G+G
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
    D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And if I were the man you wanted
    D MajorD     A augmentedA     D MajorD
I would not be the man that I am


Verse 3:

       D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD   G+G
So if you're going out to Carolina
      D MajorD     G+G    A augmentedA
Then don't linger in New Mexico
      G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD     G+G
And if you think of the one there behind you
     D MajorD     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Then you might not feel so alone


Chorus:

      G+G      A augmentedA      D MajorD
And if the stars didn't shine on the water
           C majorC      G+G
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
    D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And if I were the man you wanted
    D MajorD     A augmentedA     D MajorD
I would not be the man that I am


    D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD    G+G
And if I were the man you wanted
    D MajorD     A augmentedA     D MajorD
I would not be the man that I am
