Emily (Words and Music by REINA DEL CID)
Only use the chords without brackets if you want to play Emily the way Reina
performs it in the original video.
But you must add the chords in brackets for the live performance.
Enjoy this wonderful song!!
VERSION 1:
INTRO: D-G-D-A7-D (Original Video)
(Or D-G-D-A7-D-G-E7-G-D-A7 when Reina plays live).
D G
Emily, I need to ask you
D A7
'Cause you would know better than I
D G
If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart
E7 G D A7
Would it be better to lie?
D G
I've been keeping the peace with my silence
D A7
And I know he believes that I'll stay
D
But life won't stop dealing me
G
Cards full of feeling
E7 G D (Play A7 instead of this last D live!)
And I just can't throw them away
D G
I would pray to the lord for forgiveness
D A7
If I thought he could still hear my voice
D
But what I need more
G
Is a way out the door
E7 G D (A7)
From all of this falseness tonight. (Oh, and)
D G
Emily, I need to ask you
D A7
'Cause you would know better than I
D G
If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart
E7 G D A7
Would it be better to lie?
(D-G-D-A7-D-G-E7-G-D-A7) (guitar solo: Toni)
D G
At this point in time I'm still walking
D A7
Walking alone by his side
D
But we're getting close
G
To the end of the rope
E7 G D (A7)
Where my needs and my conscience collide. (Oh, and)
D G
Emily, I need to ask you
D A7
'Cause you would know better than I
D G
If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart
E7 G D
Would it be better to lie?
D G
If telling the truth would mean breaking his heart
E7 G D
Would it be better to lie?
VERSION 2:
Of course, you can change the chords of the version 1 by:
G-C-G-D7-G-C-A7-C-G-D7.
But it is also pleasant to play Emily this way.
