I Loved Her First (capo 2nd fret) Key of E Intro D (6 counts), Bm (6 counts) G(3 counts) F#m(3 counts), Em (3 counts), A (3 counts) Note: The G to the F#m is really just changing the top two strings. Play the F#m like a but with your pointer on the second fret of the top string- let go with your middle and keep the rest the same. This is a walkdown- do this EVERY time you see a G to a F#m hold the rest of that G shape. I will write it as F#m (G) so you remember you are mostly a G with only a couple of F#m notes. VERSE I D Bm Look at the two of you dancing that way G F#m(G) Em A Lost in the moment and each others face D Bm So much in love your alone in this place G F#m(G) A Like there's nobody else in the world VERSE II D Bm I was enough for her not long ago G F#m(G) Em A I was her number one, She told me so D Bm And she still means the world to me, Just so you know G F#m A So be careful when you hold my girl BRIDGE Bm G Time changes everything, Life must go on D A And I'm not gonna stand in your way [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/h/hearttland/223554.html ] CHORUS D Bm But I loved her first and I held her first G F#m(G) Em A And a place in my heart will always be hers .
