WHITE HORSE (ACOUSTIC) - Taylor Swift
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Barry Miles
This is just a little rendition I put together for some kids I teach. It's
pretty simple, took a few shortcuts around some chords (remember,
students), but all together sounds like a nice little solo performance.
(let ring throughout)

Say you're sorry that face of an angel comes out just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time, 'cause I honestly believed in you

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale, I'm not the one you'll sweep off
her feet, lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town, I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Verse/Prechorus:
Maybe I was naïve, got lost in your eyes, I never really had a chance
My mistake, I didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand.
I had so many dreams about you and me, happy endings; now I know

Cause I’m not your princess, this ain’t a fairytale,
I’m gonna find someone, Some day, who might actually treat me well.
C Am F G
| D D U U D U | D D U U D U | D D U U D U | D D U U D U |
This is a big world, that was a small town,
there in my rear view mirror, disappearing now.
And it's too late for you and your White Horse,
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now
(End with verse riff then C)
