Say You, Say Me
Written by Lionel Richie
Capo 1
[Intro]
G D/F# Em G/D C Am G
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7
Say it for always
G D
That's the way it should be
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7 G D
Say it together, naturally
[Verse 1]
G D/F# Em G/D
I had a dream; I had an awesome dream
Am G F D/F#
People in the park, playing games in the dark
G D/F# Em G/D
And what they played was a masquerade
Am G F D
From behind the walls of doubt, a voice was crying out
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7
Say it for always
G D
That's the way it should be
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7 G D
Say it together, naturally
[Verse 2]
G D/F# Em G/D
As we go down life's lonesome highway
Am G F D
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two
G D/F# Em G/D
That helping hand someone who understands
Am G
That when you feel you've lost your way
F D
You've got some one there to say, I'll show you
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7
Say it for always
G D
That's the way it should be
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7 G D
Say it together, naturally
[Bridge]
A# F/A C G/B
So you think you know the answers, oh no
A# F/A
Well the whole world’s got you dancing
A/C# Dm
That's right, I'm telling you
A# F/A C G/B
It's time to start believing, oh yes
A# C D
Believing who you are; you are a shining star
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7
Say it for always
G D
That's the way it should be
G D/F# Em
Say you, say me
G/D C D7 G D
Say it together, naturally
[Tag]
C G/B Am D G
Say it together, natur - ally
*The third line of the bridge is very difficult.
Going from an A/C# to a Dm as quickly as the
song suggests requires a skilled guitarist.
That is the only reason this song is considered
intermediate. Other than that line, the song can
be considered novice. To keep it novice, change
the A/C# to A:x7765x and play the Dm:x5776x.
