JUNE LAST YEAR
Kate Walsh



Brilliant song by a brilliant artist. 
I was shocked how easy it was to play too! :)

I'm basing these chords on the performance on YouTube here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAB-HkKp_Rs

You should check it out. It gives you an idea of the strumming 
and for most of the video you can see her playing the guitar as well.
Anyway, on with it!

E      : 022100
E*     : 022000

F#m    : 244222
Abm    : 466444

Intro:
Strumming Pattern is 
E                E*
d du d du d du d du
E                E*                    
d du d du d du d du

This also is the fill between the chorus and the second verse 
and at the end of every line during the verse 
(though this line is slightly different):

E      E* E      E*
d du d du d du d du

Also this is the strumming pattern used throughout the whole song.


Verse 1:

E         Am      E   E*  E  E*
I've been blaming you 
E           Am              E     E*  E  E*
I wanted to believe you were cruel 
E               Am         E      E*  E  E*
I wanted you to know I was through 
        E            Am      E    E*
But you know just as well as I do 

Bridge:

There's a small pluck she moves from E to F#m:

e --------------------|
B ---0----------------|
G ------2--1----------|
D --------------------|
A --------------------|
E --------------------|

      (pluck)       F#m
That I can't help my heart 
                 E
I can't keep you out of sight 
  (pluck)       F#m           Abm  F#m  A
I won't give you up without a fight 


Chorus:

       E             Abm
Do you know that I'm here? 
       A                    Am
Do you know that it's still you my dear? 
       E             Abm
Do you know that I'm here? 
      A                  Am
And I left my heart with you in June last year 

E E* (x2)

Verse 2:

   E         Am        E   E*  E  E*
So it's been one whole year 
    E                Am     E   E*  E  E*
And I still think of you my dear
    E           Am               E   E*  E  E*
And just when I think I might be clear 
          E         Am       E   E*  
I write a song like this one here 

Bridge:

       (pluck)       F#m
Cause I can't help my heart 
                 E
I can't keep you out of sight 
  (pluck)       F#m           Abm  F#m  A
I won't give you up without a fight 

Chorus:

       E             Abm
Do you know that I'm here? 
       A                    Am
Do you know that it's still you my dear? 
       E             Abm
Do you know that I'm here? 
      A                  Am
And I left my heart with you in June last year
