Vern Gosdin – It Might Have Been (Guitar)

C                                     G
Sometimes at night when everyone is sleepin'

C                                  G7
For me it seems sleep just won't come

C
My mind goes back and I get that same sweet

F
feelin'

C             G7             C
When I had you and love was young

    C                           F
The saddest words from lip or pen

C                  C                 G7
Are the words … "Oh, it might have been"

           C
If my dreams could only be

    F
If you were here with me                           

        C           F        C
But they're like mist in the wind

                F              C
And saddest words from lips or pen

      G            C
"It might have been

             C                        G
When mornin' comes and night is soon forgotten

C                              G7
As the cares of the day takes control

         C                              G
And I'm busy with the new life that I'm livin'

C                  G7            C
Never letting your memory take a hold

A                                    G
Then I heard an old song we used to sing

D                          A
And it started all over again

D                            G
Your memory keeps comin' to haunt me

 D              A                  D
I heard those words "It might have been"

A           G                  D
The saddest words from lips or pen

D                                  A
Are the words … "Oh, it might have been"

D
If my dreams could only be

F
If you were here with me

              D     G     D
They're like mist in the wind

             G                 D
And saddest words from lips or pen

    A           C
"It might have been"

A               D
Mmmm… Mmmm… Mmmm
