THOSE WORDS WE SAID (Kim Richey & Angelo)
E|-----------------------------------------|
[Actually in Ab/Fm; capo 1.]
[This is Kim Richey's version.  Trisha Yearwood's version is different in
 the following ways: (a) It's in A/F#m (capo 2); (b) No acoustic guitar
 intro, and shorter intro overall; (c) The end of the guitar solo is
 different; (d) The ending is shorter.]
[The A's in parentheses among the Em's are short.]
[I think Kim plays the Em parts as Em Em/G Em Em/G; that is, she uses her
 pinky or ring finger on the 3rd fret of the low E string to raise the bass
 note to a G on the backbeat (2 & 4).]

Acoustic guitar intro: see tab at end of file.

    [intro]

Em              Em             G               D
I left you with nothing but a few tears in my eyes
        Em               Em             G          D
Now I'm halfway down the interstate past Highway 99
         Em               Em         G                D
It's just me and one good wiper blade up against the rain

      C(9)           C(9)           G                 D
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
            C(9)             C(9)             G                 D
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head
D [stop]       Em    Em  (A) Em    Em  (A)
 Those words we said

   Em             Em            G             D
No matter how I try, I can't get far enough away
       Em            Em          G                  D
Every sad song on my radio sounds like it's custom made
       Em           Em                 G                  D
By some devil on my shoulder that keeps whispering in my ear

      C(9)           C(9)           G                 D
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
              C(9)           C(9)             G
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my

head

C                  G              D             Em  -  D
  Those words that wounded like an arrow to the heart
C(9) [stop]
  And keep me driving, driving

Em  Em  G  D    Em  Em  G  D    Em  Em  G   D - D/C  D/B - D/A
[guitar solo]

      C(9)           C(9)           G                 D
And I still hear the echoes of those bitter words we said
              C(9)           C(9)             G                 D
And I could drive a million miles and never drive them from my head
D [stop]       Em    Em  (A)
 Those words we said
 Em    Em            (A)      Em   Em  (A)
         Those words we said

[repeat Em Em (A) several times, and end on Em.]
