THOSE WORDS WE SAID (Kim Richey & Angelo) ----------------------------------------- [Actually in Ab/Fm; capo 1.] [This is Kim Richey's version. Trisha Yearwood's version is different in the following ways: (a) It's in A/F#m (capo 2); (b) No acoustic guitar intro, and shorter intro overall; (c) The end of the guitar solo is different; (d) The ending is shorter.] [The A's in parentheses among the Em's are short.] [I think Kim plays the Em parts as Em Em/G Em Em/G; that is, she uses her pinky or ring finger on the 3rd fret of the low E string to raise the bass note to a G on the backbeat (2 & 4).]
Acoustic guitar intro: see tab at end of file.
(A) (A) (A) (A) (A) [intro]
I left you with nothing but a few tears in my eyes
Now I'm halfway down the interstate past Highway 99
It's just me and one good wiper blade up against the rain
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head D [stop] Em Em (A) Em Em (A) Those words we said
No matter how I try, I can't get far enough away
Every sad song on my radio sounds like it's custom made
By some devil on my shoulder that keeps whispering in my ear
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my - - head
- Those words that wounded like an arrow to the heart C(9) [stop] And keep me driving, driving
- - [guitar solo]
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head D [stop] Em Em (A) Those words we said (A) (A) Those words we said
[repeat Em Em (A) several times, and end on Em.]
