Here you have this beautiful Shakira's song.I'm not really sure about the
second part of the chorus ("..when we really cared..."), I think I didn't
write a chord, and the Am7Am7 sounds a bit odd to my ears...Anyway, the rest
of the song sounds good, but there may be some mistakes.
-->(You need to use a capo on the fist fret)
A minorAm
Once upon a time you and I
E minorEm
when we were green and easy
FF
fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
A minorAm
There was nothing we can sell or buy
E minorEm
'Cause all we really needed
FF
was our barefeet and a pair of wings to fly.
Pre-Chorus:
G+G
What do you think darling?
G+G
Have we lived too much too fast?
G+G
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
G+G
wishing the time hadn't passed?
CHORUS:
C majorC
Can you tell me how it used to be?
A minorAm
Have we missed our chance?
FF
Have we changed our hopes for fears
G+G
and our dreams for plans?
C majorC
Can you tell me how it used to be
A minorAm
when we really cared?
FF
and when love was on our side
G+G
on our side.
{ [FF]x2
And the piano goes:(D#D# - FF - F#F# - FF - C#C# - A#A# - D#D# - FF - F#F# - FF - C majorC - A#A#)x2 }
A minorAm
I remember all times before,
E minorEm
when could spend our livings,
FF
staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor.
A minorAm
Our bocabulary wasn't broad,
E minorEm
I spoke so little English
FF
than the word "stress" would sound like something odd.
Pre-Chorus:
G+G
What do you think darling?
G+G
Have we lived too much too fast?
G+G
And have you, have you felt the melancholy darling,
G+G
wishing the time hadn't passed?
CHORUS:
C majorC
Can you tell me how it used to be?
A minorAm
Have we missed our chance?
FF
Have we changed our hopes for fears
G+G
and our dreams for plans?
C majorC
Can you tell me how it used to be
A minorAm
when we really cared?
FF
and when love was on our side
G+G
on our side.
[FF]x2 And the piano.
BRIDGE:
G+G
What is your guess darlin'?
G+G
Have I lived too much too fast?
G+G
so If you, If you ever come and find me cryin'
G+G
now you know, now you know why...
CHORUS:
C majorC
Can you tell me how it used to be?
A minorAm
Have we missed our chance?
FF
Have we changed our hopes for fears
G+G
and our dreams for plans?
C majorC
Can you tell me how it used to be
A minorAm
when we really cared?
FF
and when love was on our side
A minorAm
on our side.
