Dwight Yoakam - When I First Came Here

Not too sure about some of the lyrics in this one either..

It was pretty difficult to show the changes in this song where they
occur, as there's a picking thing going on which means the chords
change regularly, but I'm pretty sure this is right on each change.

I thought the C chords might have been Gsus4, but they're definately
C chords after playing the picking, maybe C/G, but you don't hear the
bass note played, so I can't say for sure.



G       =   320003                            C    =   x32010

CSus4   =   x33010                            Em   =   022000

D       =   xx0232

Am      =   x02210

            So I wasn't wrong to long for your beauty.
Em                                         G     C  G  
  And my eyes were not blind to trust your smile.

  What they once never shown, were the endless moments alone,
                   D
That you'd leave behind.

When I first came here    each morning ?we would spend a week?,

  When I first came here our bed was seldom used for sleep.
