“Who I am” Guitar Chords
By Wade Bowen and West 84
Tuning: EADGBe (normal)
Note: I decided to put this online because while the version with a capo
is close, the tonality is not right enough for me! It is also the same 4
chords for the whole song, and I get bored with it so I end up embellishing
the picking and strumming patterns. I am only play this with my acoustic
and don’t have the benefit of doing the solo, so it's not here (sorry!).
Also, just so you know, I tried to put the chords right over the words that
the chord hits on so that it's easier to read the two. Enjoy!

Verse 1 (still picking)
Asus2 Fm
I love to watch the sunset as it fades behind the trees
Dsus2 Esus4 E
Love to talk with God and get down upon my knees
Asus2 Fm
I love the times I spend with my family and friends
Dsus2 Esus4 E
Love to dream about all the places I've never been
Chorus (Strummed)
Asus2 Fm
And I love to watch you laugh and smile, I love to watch you dream
Dsus2 Esus4 E
Love it when you take my hand just to let me know you believe in me
Asus2 Fm
And I love it that you're my girl, I love that I'm your man
Dsus2 Esus4 E
Now that you're in my life Baby I know exactly who I am
Verse 2 (strummed)
Asus2 Fm
Well, I know I love the ladies, I love to go out at night
Dsus2 Esus4 E
I love it how we make up each and every time that we fight
Asus2 Fm
Oh I love you oh so very much, love you more than words can say
Dsus2 Esus4 E
And I don't know how or why but I love you more everyday
Chorus
Instrumental break (Same 4 chords once through – I don’t do the solo like
the band, but I do embellish the heck out of this part with strumming
patterns and extra left hand notes – like turning the Dsus2 into a D chord
with a hammer-on at times)
Chorus to end
