Those Words We Said

Actually in Ab/Fm; capo 1.

[This is Kim Richey's version. Trisha Yearwood's version is different in

the following ways: (a) It's in A/F#m (capo 2); (b) No acoustic guitar

intro, and shorter intro overall; (c) The end of the guitar solo is

different; (d) The ending is shorter.]

[The A's in parentheses among the Em's are short.]

[I think Kim plays the Em parts as Em Em/G Em Em/G; that is, she uses her

pinky or ring finger on the 3rd fret of the low E string to raise the bass

note to a G on the backbeat (2 & 4).]

Acoustic guitar intro: see tab at end of file.

intro

Em Em G D

I left you with nothing but a few tears in my eyes

Em Em G D

Now I'm halfway down the interstate past Highway 99

Em Em G D

It's just me and one good wiper blade up against the rain

C(9) C(9) G D

And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said

C(9) C(9) G D

And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head

D [stop] Em Em (A) Em Em (A)

Those words we said

Em Em G D

No matter how I try, I can't get far enough away

Em Em G D

Every sad song on my radio sounds like it's custom made

Em Em G D

By some devil on my shoulder that keeps whispering in my ear

C(9) C(9) G D

And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said

C(9) C(9) G

And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my

D - D/C D/B - D/A

head

C G D Em - D

Those words that wounded like an arrow to the heart

C(9) [stop]

And keep me driving, driving

Em Em G D Em Em G D Em Em G D - D/C D/B - D/A

guitar solo

C(9) C(9) G D

And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said

C(9) C(9) G D

And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head

D [stop] Em Em (A)

Those words we said

Em Em (A) Em Em (A)

Those words we said

[repeat Em Em (A) several times, and end on Em.]
