Subject: CRD: One Promise Too Late / Reba McEntire
-----------------------------
One Promise Too Late
as recorded by Reba McEntire
-----------------------------
C G F
I would have waited forever
C Am
if I'd known that you'd be here.
F C G
We could have shared our lives together
Dm F G G7
and held each other close all through the years.
But I met someone before you
and my heart just wouldn't wait,
So no matter how much I adore you
I've got to stand behind this promise that I made.
CHORUS:
Am F C
Where were you when I could have loved you?
Am F G G7
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
F G Am F
All my life, I've been dreaming of you
C G Am F
You came along one promise too late
C G C
You came along one promise too late.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
BRIDGE:
Em Am
I won't say that I'm sorry that I met you.
Em F G G7
I can't have you but I never will forget you.
Where were you when I could have loved you?
Where were you when I gave my heart away?
All my life, darling, I've been dreaming of you.
You came along one promise too late.
You came along one promise too late.
(Repeat)
Notes: Reba sings in another key (I think E)
Capo up 4
I got the lyrics from the lyric server &
changed 'em some
Andy Fedley helped me work out the chords
