Indigo Girls - True Romantic Chords & Tabs

True Romantic / Indigo Girls

 

This is a really great song off the Indigo Girls’

2009 album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, but it’s

one that’s often neglected – this is obvious, as I

couldn’t find a single table anywhere online. So I figured

out the chords as best I could. The chords themselves

aren’t that hard, but Amy varies some of the orders

of the chords in a seemingly random way that makes

it a little difficult to master. Hope you enjoy the

chords – email me at kids.think.pink@gmail.com if

you have any corrections/comments/suggestions. :)

Capo 2
 

         C

Baby, I got the best intentions,

F                     E

But I just can't do it

         Am

Baby, I got the truest aim

                  G

But I just can't win

         C

Baby, I got a good vibration,

E

But I just can't play it

       Am

Baby, I spent my only fortune,

                  Fm

On the wages of sin

 

         C                       E

So you, you gotta be extra forgiving

          Am            F

And you gotta be super strong

          C             E

You gotta be a true romantic

               Am

I want you to look the other way

                        F

When everything goes wrong

 

 

 

             C

Baby if you took all the good stuff
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/indigo_girls/true_romantic_crd.html ]
                  F

And put it all together

                      E

And you took all the bad stuff

                        F

And you threw it all away

                      C

Would I still be the girl

                  E

That suited your fancy?

                      Am

Would I still be the boy

                      F

That rocked your world?

 

C, E, Am, Fm

(Amy yells for a bit)

 

              C

If you get lonely

                          E

For the trouble and the chaos

              Am

If you get bored

                   F

Since you walked away

                 C

Remember what I told you

                      E

When the night was darkest

 

                             Am

You can leave me all you need to

                      F

Baby, I'm here to stay

 

              C                     E

And baby, I'm gonna be extra forgiving

       Am                    F

And I'm gonna be super strong

              C                     E

'Cause baby, I'm, I'm a true romantic

                      Am

I'm gonna look the other way

                      F

When everything goes wrong

 

C, E, Am, Fm

(Amy yells for a while again)
