Credit goes to Koichi Kondo for getting this altogether. I just made it easier to read and play.
This entire song is slowly finger-picked. Play it how you think it should be
played.
D Bm7
I never was the biggest or the fastest guy
D Bm7 G
I never hit a homerun when the game was tied
D Bm7 G
I knew from an early age I wasn't gonna be
Bm7 A G
A doctor or the CEO of anything
(Chorus)
D Bm7
So I sang, "She Believes In Me"
G D Bm7 A
And I played, "Fire On The Mountain" 'til I made my fingers bleed
G A
I tried to stand out from the crowd
Bm7 E G A
But most times I just struck out at the plate
D
So I sang
D Bm7
I wasn't cool enough to be a ladies man
D Bm7 G
It took me forever just to hold her hand
D Bm7 D
First time we kissed, she whispered, I love you
Bm7 A G
But I wasn't brave enough to say, I loved her too
(Chorus)
D Bm7 G
So I sang, "You Are So Beautiful To Me"
D Bm7 A
And I played,.. every note to Faithfully"
G A
I loved her with everything
Bm7 E G A
But I couldn't think of anything to say
D
So I sang
G A Bm7 A
D Bm7
No one believed in me as much as Mom
D Bm7 G
See, she worked overtime to buy my first guitar
D Bm7 A D
When the angels called her home, my sister asked if I would speak
Bm7 A G
But there were no words to say how much she meant to me
(Chorus)
D Bm7 G
So I sang, "It Is Well With My Soul"
D Bm7 A
And I played, "I'm So Tired Of Being Alone"
G A
'Cause those were Mama's favorite songs
Bm7 E G A
And what I felt would take too long to say
D
So I sang
