Version 1------------------------------------------------------------------------- COULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE – John Martyn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the album One World and various live recordings. Tabbed by Robert Saunders Tuning: C f c c g d Capo on 1st fret Chords (relative to capo): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 d | 3 2 X X 0 X X g | 0 0 2 0 0 5 4 c | 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 c | X X 0 0 0 0 0 f | X X 0 0 X 4 2 C | 5 4 X 4 X X X 1: F c g f = Csus4/F 2: E c g e = C/E 3: f c c a = F major 4: E f c c g = C/E 5: c c g d = Csus2 6: a c c c = Am (strictly Am3 as no perfect 5th) 7: g c c b = Cmaj7/G (without major 3rd) Notes: I’ve suggested putting a capo on first fret instead of just tuning it down half a step less but you can do it either way. I’ve included the Csus2 chord at the end of every line below but he doesn’t always play it. Sometimes he just picks a note or two and sometimes he strums it up from the sixth to the third string. As with all JM songs, he played them a bit differently each time so just go with the flow. If you want to learn the picking/slap pattern there are a couple of good tutorials on youtube. Csus4/F C/E F C/E Csus2 If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me Csus4/F C/E F C/E Csus2 If you told me all the lies I might deserve Csus4/F C/E F C/E Csus2 If you lay all night in the rain for me Am Cmaj7/G F C/E Csus2 Well I coul......dn’t love you more Am Cmaj7/G F C/E Csus2 Just coul......dn’t love you more Am Cmaj7/G F C/E Csus2 Just coul......dn’t love you more If you loved me till my eyes could no more shine for you If you walked beside me all the long way home If you wasted all of your time on me Well I couldn’t love you more Just couldn’t love you more I couldn’t love you more Just couldn’t love you more. If you gave me all the things I’d never ask of you If you showed me all the ways you have to cry If you lay all night in the rain for me I couldn’t love you more Just couldn’t love you more Just couldn’t love you more
