How Ive Tried chords by Porter Wagoner

C
You say that I can be your friend

G7         C
Forget my love for you

C
You say there's nothing left for me

G7        C
To find somebody new


F
You tell me to forget the things

C
That's in the past and gone

C
You just as well to tell the sun

G7         C
To rise before it's dawn

       G7     F      C
Cause I can't forget you oh how I've tried


C
You take a bird and clip its wings

G7         C
And it will fly no more

C
But you can't make that bird forget

G7         C
That it once flew before

       G7     F      C
Like I can't forget you oh how I've tried


C
You're gonna wake some morning

G7            C
And find your world gone wrong

C
You're gonna wish for the happiness

G7        C
That only we have known


F
You will be crying

C
Tears of regret

C
You're gonna remember the love sweetheart

G7        C
You told me to forget

       G7     F      C
But I didn't forget you oh how I've tried
