I Will Always Remember You Acoustic chords by George Strait

[Intro]

E A Bm A E A


[Verse 1]

A              Bm
It all started back in 1981.'
E               A F#m
Our life together had just begun.
                  Bm
I didn't know what my future would hold,
A     D   Bm
But you gave me a chance,
  E
So I set out on the road.

[Verse 2]

A            Bm
It wasn't easy going then.
  E                      A E F#m E F#m
There were times I almost threw that old towel in,
                Bm
But you kept callin me back to the stage,
A       D        E
And I finally found my place in each and every face.


[Chorus]

D             A
I'm not sayin I'm through by any means.
    Bm         E         A
There's still things that I want to say and do.
 D                A
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams.
        Bm         E    A Bm E A
And just know that I'll always remember you.


[Verse 3]

Spoken
                  Bm
When I first set out on the road, I figured
                     A        E
I had maybe 5 good years to sing my songs for you folks.
            A
Well, it's goin on 30 now
   D      E              F#m
And I still love it just as much as I ever did.
                   Bm
When I hear that announcer say my name,
D     A
And I walk through those curtains
D
And see your smilin' faces,
A
My feet don't touch the ground again
E                            A
Til I walk out and get back on that bus that got me here.
                Bm
I don't know how many more years I've got left to do this,

But I figure a few.
E
I do want you to know, though,

That when I do walk off this stage for the last time,
F#m         A    F#m
And I'm all settled in, away from all this,
          Bm
You won't be far away.
         F#m    Bm  F#m       D
I'll still hear your screams and cheers in my mind.
  E
And I'll always remember you.


[Chorus]

D             A
I'm not sayin I'm through by any means.
        Bm        E         A
Cause there's still things that I want to say and do.
     D                A
I hope you won't forget me, cause we've shared a lot dreams.
     D        E        A
And just know that I'll always remember you.
       D
You've pulled me through some hard times.
    A
Hope I've pulled you through a few.
   Bm       D     E  A E A
And just know that I'll always remember you.
