You Were There - Southern Sons

Transcribed by : Sindric Goh (sindric2@hotmail.com)

The guitar is tuned in an “Open C” style: [C G C F G c].  The “Live" Version, is tuned 
down half a step further.
This is not the original tuning though. However, it is the first tuning style that I 
experimented with that is able to give me a pretty accurate "voicing" of the guitar.
Comparing to standard tuning, the strings are tuned down as accordingly: E sting - 4 
steps / A sting - 2 steps / D string - 2 steps / G string - 2 steps / B string - 4 steps / 
e string - 4 steps.
The best method to tune the guitar this way other than using a guitar tuner is to first 
tune the original A string down to G and adjust the rest of the strings to this 
reference from there on.

Sequence and Lyrics:


Verse 1:	I guess you’ve heard, I guess you know
		In time I’d have told you, but I guess I’m too slow
		And it’s overly romantic but I know that it’s real
		I hope you don’t mind if I say what I feel
		It’s like I’m in somebody else’s dream
		This could not be happening to me


Chorus:		But you were there
		And you were everything I’d never seen
		You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
		I was alone
		I opened my eyes and you were there


Verse 2:	Don’t be alarmed, no don’t be concerned
		I don’t want to change things, leave them just as they were
		I mean, nothing’s really different it’s me who feels strange
		I’m always lost for words when someone mentions your name
		I know that I’ll get over this for sure
		I’m not the type dreams there could be more


Chorus:


Middle 8:	Can I take your smile home with me
		Or the magic in your hair…..


Verse 3:	The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
		Look at all the colors now the sun’s here at last
		I suppose that you’ll be leaving but I want you to know
		Part of you stays with me even after you go
		Like an actor playing someone else’s scene
		This could not be happening to me


Last Chorus:	But you were there
		And you were everything I’d never seen
		You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
		I was alone
		I opened my eyes and no, I’m not alone, I’m not alone
		I opened my eyes and you were there
