Tom: C#m
Garth Brooks - Wild Horses (David Wills & Bill Shore)
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
The (F# G# B C#) part in the chorus are bass notes on the 6th and then 5th strings which, if possible, can
be played while allowing the B chord notes to ring out from the B/G# chord. The intro sequqence is easier if
you play the E as a C shape at the fourth fret - x76454
B/D# - x6444x
B/A - x0444x
B/G# - 4x444x
B/F# - 2x444x
E/B - x22100

From a phone....
[Verse]
E
From a phonebooth in Cheyenne
G#m
I made a promise to Diane
A F#m B B/A B/G# B/F#
No more rodeos I'd gone my last go 'round
E G#m
The same promise that I made in San Antone and Sante Fe
A F#m B
But tonight I saddled up and let her down
[Chorus]
A E C#m B E B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away
C#m E/B F#m A B B/A B/G# (F# G# B C#)
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
A G#m
Wild horses just stay wild
A Am
and her heart is all I break
E C#m B E
Wild horses keep dragging me away
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
E
She watched me drive around her block
G#m
Getting courage up to stop
A F#m B B/A B/G# B/F#
To make her one more promise I can't keep
E G#m
The way I love the rodeo I guess I should let her go
A F#m B
Before I hurt her more than she loves me
[Chorus]
A E C#m B E B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away
C#m E/B F#m A B B/A B/G# (F# G# B C#)
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
A G#m
Wild horses just stay wild
A Am
and her heart is all I break
E C#m B E B/D# C#m
Wild horses keep dragging me away
A E C#m B E B/D#
Wild horses keep dragging me away
C#m E/B F#m A B B/A B/G# (F# G# B C#)
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
A G#m
Wild horses just stay wild
A Am
and her heart is all I break
E C#m B E
Wild horses keep dragging me away (Fade)
