I heard this song on One Tree Hill and instantly fell in love with it - Jana Kramer has
such a beautiful voice! This is my first one of these and so the chords may not be
totally accurate but I tried!
Also, I taught myself to play the guitar (the piano s what I usually play) and so don t
really know about tabs and things but I ll try to describe how I play it at different
points instead of using the proper notation!
Introduction
(Whilst doing D Chord fingering) I pluck these strings:
(teeny pause)
(2nd fret) (3rd fret) (5th fret) (5th fret)
(If you listen to her performance it should be easier to understand and then for the
verses and choruses I tend to play a similar thing to the first part of the introduction)
[Verse]
Don t tell me love is something you won t try again
That s just not true
But baby right now maybe what you need s a friend
Well I m here for you
[Chorus]
I will be by your side
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
Whenever you call
And I won t change my mind
No I ll see you through
And I won t give up
(I like to pluck the E and D strings together twice for the G, then the A and D chords
twice for the A chord - she sort of does that in the acoustic version ... sort of)
No I won t give up
I won t give up on you
(Repeat introduction)
[Verse]
You need someone who knows you from the inside out
The way I do
I ve seen you walk the wire never looking down
I believe in you
[Chorus]
I will be by your side
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
Whenever you call
And I won t change my mind
No I ll see you through
And I won t give up
No I won t give up
I won t give up on you
I will be by your side
If ever you fall deep in the dead of the night
And I won t give up
No I won t give up
I won t give up on you
You can call it love
(slow, gentle strum)
But I won t give up on you
Hopefully it s not too badly wrong! Enjoy :)
