Song: If You Knew Artist: Neko Case Album: The Tigers Have Spoken This is my first attempt, so please be kind! Ms. Case is a rather obscure artist that gets some airplay on Americana radio stations. She has a very "big" voice and performs in the old-time country and alternative country genres. I found this song to be particularly haunting and almost dream-like. So much so, I felt compled to chord it for any of her guitar-playing fans that might want it. The instumentals on the CD are by The Sadies and are very compelling, though not particularly intricate. Lots of reverb and perhaps a Chorus stomp box. I found it especially interesting that none of the lines in this song ryhme! I didn't realize that until I wrote down what I think I heard ...

Am               F      Am                 F      
If you knew what I know you wouldn't go to see her.

G                Am                   F                   F
And least of all believe her when she says that she wants you.
[Verse 1]
Am                  F                 F            F
You're just another puppet. She's not even keeping score.

        F            F                    F    G
And the lazy way she cheats you leaves me co---ld.

             Am                          F                F       F
She'll laugh about it with her best friend. But you don't know.
[Repeat Chorus] [Solo] F Am F G Am F Am F G Am [Verse 2]
    F                  F             F                  F
She spends her daddy's money and she drives her daddy's car.

           F            F                    F     G        
And what's crazy is the way you think that's sty---le.

            Am                         F          F           F       F
And all the while my heart is breaking you're not even on her mind.
[Verse 3]
Am                     F      Am                F
Cause if you knew what I know then you wouldn't leave me.

             Am             Am                       Am               Am      
You wouldn't turn away from my love, that's what you said that you believe in.

G               Am      F             F                   
I say this as a friend; You'll be the poor boy in the end.
