If I Were A Boy by Beyonce I want to give credit to dreamystar08_jb for giving me the general outline of what goes into this song. From that version, I moved chord symbols directly over which words they should be strummed by, and changed the ending of the chorus that leads into the bridge to sound better to my ear. A possible strumming pattern that works through most of the song is: down down-up, for each chord listed Capo 2nd Fret Verse 1: Em C G If I were a boy D Em C G Even just for a day D Em C I'd roll out of bed in the morning G D Em C G And throw on what I wanted and go D Em C G Drink beer with the guys D Em C G D And chase after girls Em C I'd kick it with who I wanted G D And I'd never get confronted for it Em C G 'Cause they'd stick up for me Chorus: D Em C G If I were a boy D Em C G D I think I could understand Em C How it feels to love a girl G D Em C G I swear I'd be a better man D Em C G I?d listen to her D Em C G D Cause I know how it hurts Em C When you lose the one you wanted G D Cause he's taken you for granted C And everything you had got destroyed Verse 2: Em C G If I were a boy D Em C G D I would turn off my phone Em C Tell everyone it's broken G D Em C G So they think that I was sleeping alone D Em C G I'd put myself first D Em C G D And make the rules as I go Em C Cause I know that she'd be faithful G D Em C G Waiting for me to come home Chorus: D Em C G If I were a boy D Em C G D I think I could understand Em C How it feels to love a girl G D Em C G I swear I'd be a better man D Em C G I'd listen to her D Em C G D Cause I know how it hurts Em C When you lose the one you wanted G D Cause he's taken you for granted C Am7 And everything you had got destroyed Bridge: Am7 C G D Am It's a little too late for you to come back C Em Say it's just a mistake D Am Think I forgive you like that C Em D If you thought I would wait for you C You thought wrong Verse 3: Em C G But you're just a boy D Em C G D You don't understand (yea you don't understand) Em C How it feels to love a girl, someday you'll G D Em C G Wish you were a.. better man D Em C G You don't listen to her D Em C G You don't care how it hurts D Em C Until you lose the one you wanted G D Cause you've taken her for granted C And everything you had got destroyed Em C G D But you're just a boy
