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
