The other version on here is rubbish so here is the real way to play it if you want it
to sound like the actual song.
OVER MY SHOULDER
by Mike & The Mechanics
All very self-explanatory, the Em chord I think is called Em7 but if not it should be
like this: 022033 (with the 1st string occasionally muted)
Capo Fret 1
[Intro] Em7 A D
[Verse 1]
Em7 A D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7 A D
I can see that look in your eyes
Em7 A D
I never dreamed it could be over
Em7 A D
I never wanted to say good bye
[Verse 2]
Em7 A D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7 A D
With an aching deep in my heart
Em7 A D
I wish we were starting over
Em7 A D
Oh instead we're drifting so far apart
[Bridge]
C G/B F/A G
Everybody told me you were leaving
C G/B F/A G
Funny I should be the last to know
C G/B F/A G
Baby, please, tell me that I'm dreaming
Am Bb
I just never want to let you go
[Verse 3]
Em7 A D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7 A D
I can see that look in your eyes
Em7 A D
Turning my heart over and over
Em7 A D
I never wanted to say good bye
[Bridge]
C G/B F/A G
I don't mind everybody laughing
C G/B F/A G
But it's enough to make a grown man cry
C G/B F/A G
'cause I can feel you're slipping through my fingers
Am Bb
I don't even know the reason why
Em7 A D
Em7 A D
Em7 A D
Em7 A D
[Bridge]
C G/B F/A G
Everyday it's a losing battle
C G/B F/A G
Just to smile and hold my head up high
C G/B F/A G
Could it be we belong together
Am Bb C Bb/D C/E
Baby, won't you give me one more try?
F Gsus4
One more try
[Verse 5]
Em7 A D
Looking back over my shoulder
Em7 A D
I can see that look in your eyes
Em7 A D
I never dreamed it could be over
Em7 A D
I never wanted to say good bye
