 You Were There - Southern Sons
 
 Transcribed by : Sindric Goh (sindric2@hotmail.com)
 
 The guitar is tuned in an ?Open C? style: (C G C F G c). The ?Live" Version, is tuned
 down half a step further.
 This is not the original tuning though. However, it is the first tuning style that I
 experimented with that is able to give me a pretty accurate "voicing" of the guitar.
 Comparing to standard tuning, the strings are tuned down as accordingly: E sting - 4
 steps / A sting - 2 steps / D string - 2 steps / G string - 2 steps / B string - 4 steps /
 e string - 4 steps.
 The best method to tune the guitar this way other than using a guitar tuner is to first
 tune the original A string down to G and adjust the rest of the strings to this
 reference from there on.
 
 h : hammer on
 / : slide
 : harmonics

 Sequence and Lyrics:
 
 Verse 1: I guess you?ve heard, I guess you know
 In time I?d have told you, but I guess I?m too slow
 And it?s overly romantic but I know that it?s real
 I hope you don?t mind if I say what I feel
 It?s like I?m in somebody else?s dream
 This could not be happening to me
 
 Chorus: But you were there
 And you were everything I?d never seen
 You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
 I was alone
 I opened my eyes and you were there
 
 Verse 2: Don?t be alarmed, no don?t be concerned
 I don?t want to change things, leave them just as they were
 I mean, nothing?s really different it?s me who feels strange
 I?m always lost for words when someone mentions your name
 I know that I?ll get over this for sure
 I?m not the type dreams there could be more
 
 Chorus:
 
 Middle 8: Can I take your smile home with me
 Or the magic in your hair?..
 
 Verse 3: The rain has stopped, the storm has passed
 Look at all the colors now the sun?s here at last
 I suppose that you?ll be leaving but I want you to know
 Part of you stays with me even after you go
 Like an actor playing someone else?s scene
 This could not be happening to me
 
 Last Chorus: But you were there
 And you were everything I?d never seen
 You woke me up from this long and endless sleep
 I was alone
 I opened my eyes and no, I?m not alone, I?m not alone
 I opened my eyes and you were there
