Version 1 Version 2Chords sound pretty accurate to me, there is a lot going on and their picking pattern is pretty interesting at times but these will get you through at least. Capo 3rd Fret (Transpose "up 3 half steps" or "+3 semitones" for the non-capo players) [Intro] D D A A G x2 [Verse 1] D A G It started way back in third grade D A G I used to sit beside Emmie Lou Hayes D A G A pink dress, matching bow, and her pony tail G A She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell. [Verse 2] D A G Next day I chased her `round the playground D A G Across the monkey bars to the merry go round D A G and Emmie Lou got caught passing me a note G A Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote: [Chorus] D Bm G Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend? A and if you do. D Bm G Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand A if you want to. G A I think this is how love goes, check yes or no. [Instrumental] x2 D D A A G [Verse 3] D A G Now we're grown up and she's my wife D A G Still like two kids with stars in our eyes D A G Ain't much changed I still chase Emmie Lou G A Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room. [Verse 4] D A G Last night I took her out in a white limousine D A G Twenty years together and she still gets to me D A G can't believe it's been that long ago G A when we got started with just a little note. [Chorus] D Bm G Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend? A and if you do. D Bm G Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand A if you want to. G A I think this is how love goes, check yes or no. [Instrumental] x2 D D A A G D Bm G Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend? A and if you do. D Bm G Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand A if you want to. G A I think this is how love goes, check yes or no. [Outro] x4 D D A A G Check yes or no These are the same chords and everything in a view that requires less scrolling: potentially more printer friendly: To be read, left column, right column, down to the left column, and so forth: [Intro] | D D A A G x2 | | [Verse 1] | [Verse 2] D A G | D A G It started way back in third grade | Next day I chased her `round the playground D A G | D A G I used to sit beside Emmie Lou Hayes | Across the monkey bars to the merry go round D A G | D A G A pink dress, matching bow, and her pony tail | and Emmie Lou got caught passing me a note G A | G A She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell. | Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote: | [Chorus] | [Instrumental] x2 D Bm G | D D A A G Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend? | A | and if you do. | D Bm G | Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand | A | if you want to. | G A | I think this is how love goes, check yes or no. | | | [Verse 3] | [Verse 4] D A G | D A G Now we're grown up and she's my wife | Last night I took her out in a white limousine D A G | D A G Still like two kids with stars in our eyes | Twenty years together and she still gets to me D A G | D A G Ain't much changed I still chase Emmie Lou | can't believe it's been that long ago G A | G A Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room. | when we got started with just a little note. | [Chorus] | [Outro] x4 D Bm G | D D A A G Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend? | Check yes or no A | and if you do. | D Bm G | Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand | A | if you want to. | G A | I think this is how love goes, check yes or no. |
