This is the way that I play Prince's little-known gem, "When You Were Mine." I hope the
are correct and my "arrangement" (if you could call it that) serves a purpose. Sing
and enjoy....

Key: E

CHORDS USED - E: 022100 A: X02220 Asus2: X02200 B:

Make up your own strumming rhythm, just make sure you put some feeling into it. All
are switched after one bar and the tempo is Q=148bpm or something around there. Have fun,
are it is:

Intro: E B A B x2

VERSES 1-3:
 E               B        A   
When you were mine    

            B                 
I gave you all of my money

E            B        A   
Time after time    

           B       
U done me wrong

 E                    B        A   
It was just like a dream   

              B                            
U let all my friends come over and meet

 E           B            A   
U were so strange     

                   B                              
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets


 E              B                A   
Oh girl when you were mine   

           B                           
I used to let U wear all my clothes

 E           B                 A   
U were so fine (so fine)   

                  B                           
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so

I know (I know)

That ur going with another guy

I don't care (don't care)

                     E                   Asus2       
'Cuz I love you baby, that's no lie

ADDITIONAL LYRICS:

Verses 4-5

When you were mine
You were kinda, sorta my best friend
So I was blind (so blind)
I let you fool around

I never cared (didn't care)
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping in between the two of us


Verse 6

When you were mine
You were all I ever wanted to do
I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with you
