This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

"BECAUSE I TOLD YOU SO" by Jonatha Brooke www.jonathabrooke.com
From her 1997 album 10 Cent Wings
Written by Jonatha Brooke
Transcribed by T-rev www.t-rev.net
Standard-tuned version, capo 3 to match key of original
(which is tuned Eb-G-Bb-F-Bb-Eb, a tuning Brooke attributes
to Bruce Cockburn youtube.com/watch?v=iNXs5eLCe9E )
Am C/E F
If I gave you the sky
Am C/E F
If I laid down my life
Am C/E F C
Would you believe me then
If I promised to change
If I carried the blame
Would you believe me then
CHORUS:
F Am
Could you see it like me
F Am
And believe what I see
F E7 Am
Could you listen and remember that I love you
F G F C
Only because I told you, because I told you so
If you told me you lied
But I stayed true and tried
Would you believe me then
And if your beauty was gone
But my love lingered on
Would you believe me then
REPEAT CHORUS
C E7 Am G/B C C/E F
You take the wheel for now
C E7 Am C/E F Em Dm7 G
I'm too tired to drive this one home anyhow
C
For now
And when you mention my name
Let this one thing remain
My love, believe me now
