I Thought You Knew
Written by Skip Ewing, Keith Urban and Matt Rollings

on a single guitar. The chord names allow for either the extension
or the bass note to be omitted in a simplified performance.

These voicings give a reasonable sound which is not too 'dirgy'.
Bb/C for C13 is the biggest compromise.
Am9 is a passing chord on the 'and' of Beat-2
Harmony returns to Am on Beat-4
A similar passing chord occurs in the CHORUS:
C G/C C Bb/C
"I thought you knew"
"We would al- ways be"
