Joshua Radin – What If You (Capo VI) The original song is done fingerpicking style. There are a few tabs on UG that get the basic pattern. I play my own variation, but I think the hammer-ons are a key to getting the sound, regardless of the fingerpicking pattern you use.

Em          C   G        D            Em
    What if you,    could wish me away 

        C    G              D           Em D
What if you,    Spoke those words today 

                  G          Em D
I wonder if you'd miss me, 

      G        Em D
When I'm gone 

                      G         Em
It's come to this, release me.

     D       G              
I'll leave before the dawn 
[Chorus]
C         D             G
  But for tonight 

     D             Em       C
I'll stay here with you 

         D         G
Yes, for tonight 

     D             Em       C
I'll lay here with you 

             D             G     D
But when the sun hits your eyes 

              Em         C
Through your window 

            D               G
There'll be nothing you can do 
[Interlude] C D G [Verse]
Em          C   G        D              Em
    What if you,   could hear this song 

        C  G            D           Em D
What if I     Felt like I belong 

               G          Em D
I might not be leaving

      G    Em D
Oh so soon 

                  G         Em
Began the night believing 

   D               G
I loved you in the moon--light 
[Chorus]
C         D             G
  But for tonight 

     D              Em       C
I'll stay here with you 

         D         G
Yes, for tonight 

     D             Em       C
I'll lay here with you 

             D             G     D
But when the sun hits your eyes 

              Em         C
Through your window 

            D               G
There'll be nothing you can do 
[Bridge]
C       D                Em     D
 I could've treated you better 

        C
Better than this 

                      D                  Em
Well, I'm gone, this song's your letter 

       D       C        D G
Can't stay in one place 
[Chorus]
C        D          G
  So for tonight 

     D              Em      C
I'll stay here with you 

         D             G
Yes, for tonight 

     D             Em       C
I'll lay here with you 

             D             G      D
But when the sun hits your eyes 

              Em         C
Through your window 

            D               G
There'll be nothing you can do 
[Outro] C D G
