If I Was Cifras

Capo on 4th fret!
 
I used to claim in this very spot that the picking was very easy. But after
getting some E-Mails (and listening to the song closely) I must say it is indeed a
bit tricky. So I tabbed it out. Note that this is still a slightly simplified
version. The guitarist plays some more bass notes, but if they were in the tab
that would only confuse, so I left them out. It will sound great if you play it like this.
 
If you want the 100% full real tab (or have any other comments) write me at

[Intro] C / Am / G / C
 
[Verse]
C            Am             G             C
If I was a sailor I would sail you out to sea
C                   F            C        G
Take you across the ocean, ask you to marry me
Am             F             G            C
Oh if I was sailor I would sail you home to me
 
[Verse]
C                 Am             G               C
And if I was a soldier I would march to war for you
C                F            C            G
I'd face every bullet and cannonball that flew
Am               F             G            C
Oh if I was a soldier I would wage a war for you
 
[Verse]
C            Am             G             C
And if I was a jailer I would lock you away
C                   F            C               G
Then I'd have the key to see you each and every day
Am             F              G              C
Oh if I was a jailer I would still have you today
 
[Verse]
C               Am                  G             C
And if I was a rich man I'd buy you flowers every day
C           F            C                    G
But I am a poor man so I'll pick them on the way
Am             F                G                 C
Oh if I was a rich man I would pay to make you to stay.
 
[Chorus]
Am                   Em
I've wasted so much time
F                   G              C
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
Am                   Em
I've wasted so much love
F                    G             C
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.
 
[Verse]
C               Am             G             C
And if I had an aeroplane then I'd fly you away
C               F      C             G
Maybe we go to rome or paris for the day
Am             F               G            C
Oh if I had an aeroplane then I'd whisk you away
 
[Verse]
C              Am              G               C
And if I was a betting man I'd bet you love me too
C                F                C                G
I'd bet everything I had for the chance to be with you
Am             F             G          C
Oh if I was a betting man my odds are 9-2.
 
[Chorus]
Am                   Em
I've wasted so much time
F                   G              C
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
Am                   Em
I've wasted so much love
F                    G             C
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.
Am                   G               Am
Yeah I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
F                    G              C
Oh I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.

I've wasted so much love
F                    G             C
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.
Am                   G               Am
Yeah I wish I'd never learnt to play a note

[Verse]
C              Am             G               C
And if I was a writer I would write a book on you
C                      F              C                G
I'd tell them all the stories of the things we used to do
Am             F             G               C
Oh if I was a writer I would write a book on you
 
[Verse]
C              Am                G             C
And if I was a painter I'd paint portraits of you
C                F               C               G
Hang them in the galleries like all good painter do
Am             F                G            C
Oh if I was a painter I'd paint potraits of you.
 
[Chorus]
Am                   Em
I've wasted so much time
F                   G              C
Writing songs and playing on my guitar
Am                   Em
I've wasted so much love
F                    G             C
Now I wish I'd never learnt to play a note.
Am                   G               Am
Yeah I wish I'd never learnt to play a note
