• Song:

    Save Tonight

  • Artist:

    Eagle Eye Cherry

  • Album:

    The Best Of

This is a slightly easier version than the others on here. It isn't in the same key as 
real song, but it has the same chord progressions. It doesn't use the F chord, which is 
for beginners who haven't mastered barres yet!

P.S. Each "save" and "come" in the chorus is actually sung during the previous line's D 
however, for ease of reading, I placed them on the next line. Otherwise, I've tried to 
every word sung with the accurate chord played at that point.

Enjoy!

          Em  C        G   D
There's a log   on the fire

And it burns   like me for you

Tomorrow comes   with one desire
   Em       C            G    D
To take me away, oh it's  true

It ain't easy   to say goodbye
        Em     C       G          D
Darling please   don't start to cry
       Em                 C         G     D

   I wish that I, that I could stay
Em                 C         G    D
