The variations of D chords above are not different other than the voicings, which in
country songs is an integral part of the song as most country songs use very popular
and usually overused chord patterns and so country musicians have to concentrate on
their voicings to bring a sense of originality to the song.

SIm7 SOLsus2
From the moment that we met
RE(1)
My world was turned around
LAsus2/
Upside down
SIm7 SOLsus2
To some degree I still regret
RE(1) LAsus2/
My memory for keeping you around
MIm7sus4 FA#/RE SOLsus2
Girl I thought that you were mine
MIm7sus4 FA#/RE
But my broken hearts been shattered
SOLsus2
One too many times
RE(2)
And I don’t want to see you anymore
SIm7(2)
I’m just not that strong
LAsus4
I love it when you’re here,
SOLsus2
But I’m better when you’re gone
RE(2) SIm7(2)
I’m certain that I’ve given and oh how you can take
LAsus4
There’s no use in you looking
SOLsus2
There’s nothing left for you to break
RE(3) SOLsus2
Baby please release me
d(3) Gsus2 (REPEAT INTRO)
Let my heart rest in pieces
In the next verse, the electric guitar in the background is playing around on
some suspensions in a small riff which is chordally derived from the on we heard
in the intro which means that if you like you CAN get away with a Bm7sus2 instead of
Bm7, but only if you are really being back by a band!
SIm7 SOLsus2
Someone let you down again
RE(1)
So you turn to me
LAsus4
Your convenient friend
SIm7 SOLsus2
Oh but I know what you’re doing
RE(1)
And what you hope to find
LAsus4
I’ve seen it a thousand times
MIm7sus4 FA#/RE SOLsus2
Oh the fire we had before
MIm7sus4 FA#/RE
Are now just bitter ashes
SOLsus2
Left scattered on the floor
RE(2)
And I don’t want to see you anymore
SIm7(2)
I’m just not that strong
LAsus4
I love it when you’re here,
SOLsus2
But I’m better when you’re gone
RE(2) SIm7(2)
I’m certain that I’ve given and oh how you can take
LAsus4
There’s no use in you looking
SOLsus2
There’s nothing left for you to break
RE(3) SOLsus2
Baby please release me
(careful below as they play one bar less than you would 'feel' before the solo!)
RE(3) SOLsus2 SIm7sus2 SIm7
Let my heart rest in pieces
Yeaaahh...................
SOLO - d(3), Bm7(2), Asus4, Gsus2
RE(2)
And I don’t want to see you anymore
SIm7(2)
I’m just not that strong
LAsus4
I love it when you’re here,
SOLsus2
But I’m better when you’re gone
RE(2) SIm7(2)
I’m certain that I’ve given and oh how you can take
LAsus4
There’s no use in you looking
SOLsus2
There’s nothing left for you to break
RE(3) SOLsus2
Baby please release me
RE(3) SOLsus2
We both know that you don't need me
RE(3) SOLsus2
Let my heart rest in pieces
Here again we see the intro motif reappear, this time however it is best to play it chordally
as follows with the chords changing in rhythm to the riff:
BAR 1 2 3 4
SIm7sus2 SIm7 SIm7sus2 SIm7(3) SIm7sus2 SIm7 SIm7sus2 SIm7(3) x2
You should be able to see that the motif is all that is changing between these chords but by
presenting it like this it provides a harmonically pleasing voice!
You can also get away with playing it as in the intro of course, depending on whether you want
to finish it loudly or delicately!
