Chords sound pretty accurate to me, there is a lot going on
and their picking pattern is pretty interesting at times but these will get you through at least.
Capo 3rd Fret (Transpose "up 3 half steps" or "+3 semitones" for the non-capo players)
[Intro]
D D A A G x2
[Verse 1]
D A G
It started way back in third grade
D A G
I used to sit beside Emmie Lou Hayes
D A G
A pink dress, matching bow, and her pony tail
G A
She kissed me on the school bus but told me not to tell.
[Verse 2]
D A G
Next day I chased her `round the playground
D A G
Across the monkey bars to the merry go round
D A G
and Emmie Lou got caught passing me a note
G A
Before the teacher took it I read what she wrote:
[Chorus]
D Bm G
Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend?
A
and if you do.
D Bm G
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
A
if you want to.
G A
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
[Instrumental] x2
D D A A G
[Verse 3]
D A G
Now we're grown up and she's my wife
D A G
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
D A G
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmie Lou
G A
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room.
[Verse 4]
D A G
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
D A G
Twenty years together and she still gets to me
D A G
can't believe it's been that long ago
G A
when we got started with just a little note.
[Chorus]
D Bm G
Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend?
A
and if you do.
D Bm G
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
A
if you want to.
G A
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
[Instrumental] x2
D D A A G
D Bm G
Do you love me?, Do you want to be my friend?
A
and if you do.
D Bm G
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
A
if you want to.
G A
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.
[Outro] x4
D D A A G
Check yes or no
