Version 1 Version 2
***Please note that tuning is a FULL step down. The reason is because I tune a full step down on
my guitars and capo (2) frets up to get back to standard tuning. This way I can have any tuning I
want without having to literally re-tune every time. ***
Tuning a full step down on this song gives it a more rich/full sound. Please enjoy!

[Intro]
G G D D C (x2)
[Verse]
G D C
It started way back in third grade
G D C
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
G D C
A pink dress, matching bow, and her pony tail
C D
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell.
G D C
Next day I chased her `round the playground
G D C
Across the monkey bars, to the merry go round
G D C
and Emmie Lou got caught passing me a note
C D
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote:
[Chorus]
G Em C
"Do you love me?, Do you wanna be my friend?
D
And if you do.
G Em C
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
D
if you want to.
C D
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no."
G G D D C
[Verse]
G D C
Now we're grown up and she's my wife
G D C
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
G D C
Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmylou
C D
Up and down the hall,around the bed in our room.
G D C
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
G D C
Twenty years together, she still gets to me
G D C
Can't believe it's been that long ago
C D
when we got started with just a little note.
[Chorus]
G Em C
"Do you love me, Do you wanna be my friend?
D
And if you do.
G Em C
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
D
if you want to.
C D
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no."
G G D D C (x2)
G Em C
Do you love me, Do you wanna be my friend?
D
And if you do.
G Em C
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
D
if you want to.
C D
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
[Outro]
(Fade to end of song with)
G G D D C (x4)
Check yes or no
