What If You Chords

Joshua Radin – What If You  (Capo VI)
 
The original song is done fingerpicking style. There are a few tabs on UG that get the basic pattern. I play
my own variation, but I think the hammer-ons are a key to getting the sound, regardless of the fingerpicking
pattern you use. See https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/joshua_radin/what_if_you_tabs_739438 or

[Intro]
Em C G D
 
[Verse]
Em          C   G        D            Em
    What if you,    could wish me away 
        C    G              D           Em D
What if you,    Spoke those words today 
                  G          Em D
I wonder if you'd miss me, 
      G        Em D
When I'm gone 
                      G         Em
It's come to this, release me.
     D       G
I'll leave before the dawn 
 
 
[Chorus]
C         D             G
  But for tonight 
     D             Em       C
I'll stay here with you 
         D         G
Yes, for tonight 
     D             Em       C
I'll lay here with you 
             D             G     D
But when the sun hits your eyes 
              Em         C
Through your window 
            D               G
There'll be nothing you can do

[Verse]
Em          C   G        D              Em
    What if you,   could hear this song 
        C  G            D           Em D
What if I     Felt like I belong 
               G          Em D
I might not be leaving
      G    Em D
Oh so soon 
                  G         Em
Began the night believing 
   D               G
I loved you in the moon--light 
 
 
[Chorus]
C         D             G
  But for tonight 
     D              Em       C
I'll stay here with you 
         D         G
Yes, for tonight 
     D             Em       C
I'll lay here with you 
             D             G     D
But when the sun hits your eyes 
              Em         C
Through your window 
            D               G
There'll be nothing you can do 
 
 
[Bridge]
C       D                Em     D
 I could've treated you better 
        C
Better than this 
                      D                  Em
Well, I'm gone, this song's your letter 
       D       C        D G
Can't stay in one place 
 
 
[Chorus]
C        D          G
  So for tonight 
     D              Em      C
I'll stay here with you 
         D             G
Yes, for tonight 
     D             Em       C
I'll lay here with you 
             D             G      D
But when the sun hits your eyes 
              Em         C
Through your window 
            D               G
There'll be nothing you can do
