You Were Mine Chords

You Were Mine
Dixie Chicks


I don't have the intro, but it's a variation on an A cord with each
note played 
individually then lifting your index finger for the second cord.
The note after the / is a bass part.
Great song!


A                      C#m/G#     C#m/E(bass)
I can't find a reason, to     let go

     F#m                    D
Even though you found a new love,

          F#m                  D
And she's what your dreams are made of.

A                    C#/G#   C#m/E(bass)
I can find a reason, to hang on

          F#m              D
What went wrong can be for-given,

        F#m                D         A
Without you it ain't worth living, a-lone.


Chorus
    E       D       A         D
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

        E       D               A
And sometimes I scream out your name.

     E              D       A    [2]  your heart away
What right does she have to take [1] you away?

         Bm      D        E
When for so long you were mine.

Verse
  A                C#m/G#          C#m/E(bass)
I took out all the pictures of our wedding day.

         F#m              D
It was a time of love and laughter,
 
F#m        D
happy ever after.

    A                             C#m/G#   C#m/E(bass)
But even those olds pictures have begun to fade,

       F#m               D
Please tell me she's not real,

         F#m                  D       A
And that you're really coming home to stay.

Chorus 



Bridge:
D G                  Bm/F#m
  I can give you two good reasons,

   F                   C
To show you love's not blind.

     Bm/A          C#m/G#        F#m       D
He's two and she's four, and you know they adore you.

   Bm        C#m        D                   E
So how can I tell them, you've changed your mind?


Chorus (Modulation)
    F#      E       B         E
Sometimes I wake up cryin' at night,

        F#      E               B
And sometimes I scream out your name.

     F3             E       B        
What right does she have to take your heart away?

         C#m      E        F#
When for so long you were mine.

C#         E    F#       B
I remember when you were mine.
