Ricky Van Shelton - It Wouldn't Kill Me (tab)
By axehappy - axehappy@
I've tabbed out the picking for the intro and chorus, but if you're gonna pick, take
no notice of the chord shapes shown here, as they won't be quite right for the picking.
The chorus is just picking up each note of the chord..really easy, so I didn't tab that out.
Play this with capo on 2nd fret.
All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.
Real chord names are in square brackets below.
D [E] = xx0232 D/F# [E/Ab] = 2x0232
G [A] = 320033 Asus [Bsus] = x02230
A7 [B7] = x02020 Em [F#m] = 022000
Bm [Dbm] = x24432 A/Db [B/Eb] = x42220
G/F# [A/Ab] = 2x0003

INTRO
D A G
Last night after dinner as I read the evening paper,
D G Em A
I looked up to see a look of sadness in her eyes.
Bm A/Db D D/F# G G/F#
I asked her what was wrong, she sighed and said, 'It's nothin',
Em A
But something in that nothin' made me realize:
D D/F#
It wouldn't kill me,
G A
To tell her that I love her.
D D/F#
Wouldn't kill me,
G A
To make her feel alive.
Bm D/F#
I could take more time to show her
D D/F# G
How she makes my life so right.
D Em
It wouldn't kill me,
G A D D D/F# G Asus A
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.
D A G
I don't know what gets in me not to take these precious moments,
D G Em A
Share them with the only one who makes it all worthwhile.
Bm A/Db D D/F# G G/F#
I get so caught up in little things when the only thing that matters,
Em A
Is the way she leaves me breathless from the beauty of her smile.
D D/F#
It wouldn't kill me,
G A
To tell her that I love her.
D D/F#
Wouldn't kill me,
G A
To make her feel alive.
Bm D/F#
I could take more time to show her
D D/F# G
How she makes my life so right.
D Em
It wouldn't kill me,
G A D
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.
