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

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
