If You Dont Dont

so i was fiddling around with my guitar and i love this song and wanted a way to play it
on one guitar well and since i have an acoustic with me and Am too lazy to pull out my
electric , i feel i could post what i have as my tab/Chords i use and others can tell me
what they think or try it out . and yes , it won’t be the same sound as the album version
but with the tuning and such , it is easier for my voice to adapt to the song to slow it
down and make it more my own .

standard tuning : capo on the 1st fret
chords used :
Cmaj7 : x32003
Fmaj7 : xx3210
Am : 002210
F : 133211
C : x32010
G : 320033
Em : 022000

you can make the strum pattern however you want but you can listen to the actual song if
you want to a sense for timing and changing of chords . i play it a little slower and
don’t include a solo , yet i find doing the standard solo from the recording works well .
just listen along to the song to know when to change chords .

intro : Cmaj7

verse 1 : ( all verses are the same as this , just adapt to the song )
Cmaj7
what’s wrong baby ,
Fmaj7
don’t they treat you like they should?
Cmaj7
did you take ’em for it?
Fmaj7
or every penny that you could?

pre – chorus : same when found in the song
Am F
we once walked out on the beach and once i almost touched your hand .
C G
oh how i dreamed to finally say such things then only to pretend .

chorus : ( same for all and you can either play F instead of Fmaj7 but it follows the cd
better to make it Fmaj7 but it still works if you just play an F )

Fmaj7 G
if you don’t don’t know , why’d you say so?
Em F
would you mean this please if it happens?
Fmaj7 G
if you don’t know , why would you say so?
Em F
won’t you get your story straight .
Fmaj7 G
if you don’t know , honey , why’d you just say so?
Em F
cause i need this now more than i ever did .
Fmaj7 G
if you don’t , well , honey , then you don’t .

( repeat verse )

bridge :

i just strum once x22002 and then x3300x and go back and forth until i either go back
into the song or just play a solo that fits for the song .

verse
prechorus
chorus

outro :
one strum each and let it ring
C F C
if you don’t know , honey , honey , then you don’t .

if you want the pattern to put this all together if you don’t like playing along to the
music , here it is :

hope you enjoy this , i Am still uncertain if my Cmaj7 is best for the verses but it
works for me since i know the original is supposed to be ( non – capo ) xx6544 . all suggestions
appreciated! happy playing!
