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.

[intro]
Em Em G D
I left you with nothing but a few tears in my eyes
Em Em G D
Now I’m halfway down the interstate past Highway 99
Em Em G D
It’s just me and one good wiper blade up against the rain
C(9) C(9) G D
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
C(9) C(9) G D
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
Em Em G D
No matter how I try, I can’t get far enough away
Em Em G D
Every sad song on my radio sounds like it’s custom made
Em Em G D
By some devil on my shoulder that keeps whispering in my ear
C(9) C(9) G D
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
C(9) C(9) G
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my
D – D/C D/B – D/A
head
C G D Em – D
Those words that wounded like an arrow to the heart
C(9) [stop]
And keep me driving, driving
Em Em G D Em Em G D Em Em G D – D/C D/B – D/A
[guitar solo]
C(9) C(9) G D
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
C(9) C(9) G D
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head

Those words we said
