Subject: CRD: Grass Roots - "Things I Should Have Said"


			"Things I Should Have Said"
			 (P.F. Sloan - Steve Barri)

Intro (piano, in octaves; doubled with acoustic 12-string second time)

	G   A  B  C  D  E  F

	[and my music theory teacher always wondered why I had such an
	easy time singing a Mixolydian scale :-)]

	G      Fadd9 C    G       Fadd9 C     [Fadd9: xx3213  C: x32013]
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  /    /

Verse 1:

	G       Fadd9 C
	I didn't cry
	G     Fadd9        C          G         Fadd9 C
	I just stood and watched her say goodbye
	 G            Fadd9 C
	She closed the  do-or
	G          Fadd9           C       D
	And said "I don't want to see you anymore"

Chorus:

	 G
	Things I should have said to her
	      F     C           F          C       G
	That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
	 G
	Things I should have said to her
	       F       C       F       C         Dsus4 D
	Like "girl, I love you so let love find a way"

Verse 2:

	Was it that she
	Just couldn't understand a man like me
	Was I to blame
	Did I leave too many things unexplained?

	[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

	           Bm     Em    
	Why didn't I try telling her
	 A7       D
	She was all I had
	           Bm     Em
	Why didn't I try telling her
	A7         D          D7         G
	Now she's gone and I feel oh so bad

	G [rest]    F  Bb G [rest]   Bb  G
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /
