When I Said I Do Tab

by Clint Black


When I Said I Do (Clint Black & Lisa Hartman Black)

this is quite a beautiful song no matter how you play it. Great at weddings and aniversaries

Key of Bb (Capo 6th fret if you wish)

Verse 1
                           
These times are troubled and these times are good
              
And they're always gonna be, they rise and they fall
                  
We take 'em all the way that we should
  
Together you and me forsaking them all
                    
Deep in the night and by the light of day
   
It always looks the same, true love always does
                          
And here by your side, or a million miles away
         
Nothin's ever gonna change the way that I feel,
                                  
The way it is, is the way that it was


Chorus
                                                       
When I said I do, I meant that I will 'til the end of all time
                                
Be faithful and true, devoted to you
                                           
That's what I had in mind when I said "I do"


Verse 2

                                          
Well this old world keeps changin', and the world stays the same
    
For all who came before, and it goes hand and hand
                      
Only you and I can undo all that we became
     
That makes us so much more, than a woman and a man
                        
And after everything that comes and goes around
    
Has only passed us by, here alone in our dreams
                               
I know there's a lonely heart in every lost and found
       
But forever you and I will be the ones
                           
Who found out what forever means


Repeat Chorus


Bridge

                                                   
Truer than true, you know that I'll always be there for you
                                                    
(Clint) That's what I had in mind, (Lisa) that's what I had in mind,
                                                  
(Clint and Lisa [how sweet]) When I said "I do"
