For What Its Worth Cifras

This is such a great song about a beautiful love affair.
It's a little tricky to master the timing but it's totally worth the effort.
It's best played fingerpicked with a 2/4 style but watch for the timing in the chorus
The song is basically a D with the bass running from open D on the third string down to open E
The D/D is a little redundant but emphasizes the D bass in the progression

D/D                      D/C#
I got to sing I got to dance
                         D/B
I got to be a part of a great romance
          D/A
Still forbidden
          D/G
Still outrageous
        D/F#
Only a few around us knew
    Em7                       Asus4     A7
But no one said a word it was contagious

Looked out the window as we watched the cars fly by

I look at you and I start to cry

You said even if I left my girlfriend
Asus4                           G
Packed up my stuff loaded up my car
G
Drove down to your house with good intentions
Asus4
Came through your door
               G
For what it's worth

I got to love I rode the rails
                             D/B
You came with me because you cared
                   D/A
I was broken I was scared
                     D/G
You held my hand and took away my fear

We knew it couldn't last and that was hard
