Title: I Told You So
Artist: Carrie Underwood/Randy Travis
Info: Played with capo on 1st fret

The intro is pretty tough to get smooth and up to speed, but it is possible and 
sounds really good when you get it down. 

The verses are played with the standard finger picking style you here in pretty 
much all country ballads.

VERSE 1
 
  G
Suppose I called you up tonight
    Bm
And told you that I love you
      C/G            D               G9
And suppose I said I wanna come back home
       C/G                                G        Bm      Em7
And suppose I cried and said I think I've finally learned my lesson
    A7                               D    G/D   D7
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone

     G                              Bm
If I told you that I realize you're all I ever wanted
         C/G           D     G9
And it's killin' me to be so far away
          C/G
Would you tell me that you love me too
    G        Bm   Em7
And would we cry together
   A7                               D
Or would you simply laugh at me and say


CHORUS

  C/G      G          Bm     C/G
I told you so,  Oh I told you so
  Am                                  D                             G   D
I told you someday you'd come crawlin' back and askin me to take you in
  C/G      G             Bm    C/G
I told you so,   but you had to go
             Am                              D                            
And now I've found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two 
again

INTRO (again)

2ND VERSE LYRICS

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old time feelin'
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began

Would you tell me that you've missed me too and that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we'd live in love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
Would you say
