verse 3:
CFC
now that you're here you're right by my side
FC
me and my tree we still find the time
FC
to walk through the clouds and look for the rain
F * Am
but in know i can't find them cause i'm not the same
chorus:
FC
when i'm alone i think of you
GC
and where you might be alone by a tree
Notes:
listen to the song for the struming pattern, or play it however you want.
on the chorus, they let that G ring out, then pick back up with the C (again, listen if you want)
on the third verse, they don't really play the chords, they either hit the guitar or use a drum.
that being said, if you do play the chords, where i've got the F* you could play an F or a G there
- F follows the pattern of the earlier verses, but i use the G because the melody steps down and
i think it sounds better. if you don't play the chords, make sure you come back in on the Am.
on the last C, they don't play this chord, but if they did it would be a C.
tried to find this for a while, finally found the song on itunes and typed it
out. email me with any questions.
