Song: If You Knew Artist: Neko Case Album: The Tigers Have Spoken This is my first attempt, so please be kind! Ms. Case is a rather obscure artist that gets some airplay on Americana radio stations. She has a very "big" voice and performs in the old-time country and alternative country genres. I found this song to be particularly haunting and almost dream-like. So much so, I felt compled to chord it for any of her guitar-playing fans that might want it. The instumentals on the CD are by The Sadies and are very compelling, though not particularly intricate. Lots of reverb and perhaps a Chorus stomp box. I found it especially interesting that none of the lines in this song ryhme! I didn't realize that until I wrote down what I think I heard ...

D Em C G And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you. [Verse 1] Em G C G You're just another puppet. She's not even keeping score. C C G D And the lazy way she cheats you leaves me co---ld. Em G C G She'll laugh about it with her best friend. But you don't know. [Repeat Chorus] [Solo] G Em G D Em G Em G D Em [Verse 2] C G C G She spends her daddy's money and she drives her daddy's car. C C G D And what's crazy is the way you think that's sty---le. Em G C G G And all the while my heart is breaking you're not even on her mind. [Verse 3] Em G Em G Cause if you knew what I know then you wouldn't leave me. Em Em Em Em You wouldn't turn away from my love, that's what you said that you believe in. D Em C C I say this as a friend; You'll be the poor boy in the end. [Outro] G D C C G
