THE WOMAN BEFORE ME
(by Jude Johnstone; sung by Trisha Yearwood)
--------------------------------------------
[Actually in D; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except chords joined by a hyphen
(e.g., "Bm - A") are half A measure _total_.]
g Am - g C C
[intro]
F F g C - g
I can see you turn away when I ask what for
F F g C - g
You say it isn't anything, but I'm not sure
F F g C - g
Something underneath the skin won't let you be
F F g - F C
And you try to keep it in, but I can see
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/trisha_yearwood/the_woman_before_me_crd.html ]
g - Am - G/B - C C F C
The wo - man be - fore me must have been hard on you
F C g g
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
g - Am - G/B - C C F C
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
g Am - g C C
The woman before me and you
Sometimes in an argument, it will show
When you go a little farther than you meant to go
I know you don't mean the things that you say
I just wanna ease the pain that's in your way
But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Am g - F C F
If there are sorrows that bring back a tear
Am g - F C C
Don't let them keep us apart
Am g - F C F
You oughta know you've got nothing to fear
Am g g
Here in my heart
'Cause you and I will never be like the past
Whatever kind of memories that you have
Nothing's gonna hurt me how, can't you see
I already made it a vow that I can keep
But the woman before me must have been hard on you
'Cause that hurt in your eyes, I never put you through
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
The woman before me and you
Sometimes I think you must be talking to
g Am - g C - G7sus C.
The woman before me and you
