Chord/Tab song: Making Memories of Us

Making Memories of Us
written by Rodney Crowell
NOTE: For those of you wondering, this is the same as KU's version with a capo on I (up a
half-step from E to F). I'll put the capo'd chords at the bottom, but it's just as easy to
play it without a capo. There are also some chords that Crowell doesn't play that KU does.

INTRO: F Am Bb F Am C

I[F]'m gonna be here for you ba[C]by, I[Am]'ll be a man of my w[Bb]ord
S[F]peak the language in a v[C]oice that you have nev[Dm]er heard[Bb]
I[F] wanna sleep with you for[C]ever, [Am]I wanna die in your a[Bb]rms
I[F]n a cabin by a m[C]eadow where the wild bee[Dm]s swarm[Bb]

CHORUS:
[Bb]I'm gonna l[F]ove you, l[Bb]ike nobody lo[F]ves you
[Bb]I'll win your t[Dm]rust makin' m[C]emories of [F]us

I wanna honor your mother, I wanna learn from your pa
I wanna steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I wanna stand out in a crowd for you, a man among men
I wanna make your world better than it's ever been

CHORUS:

I wanna love you, like nobody loves you
I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us

BRIDGE:
W[Am7]e'll follow the ra[F]inbow, w[Bb]herever the f[F]our winds blow
T[Am]here'll be a [Dm]new day, c[Bb]omin' yo[C]ur way

I'm gonna be here for ya from now on, this you know somehow
You've been stretched to the limit but it's alright now
I'm gonna make you a promise, if there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss

CHORUS:

I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust makin' memories of us

CHORUS:
I[Bb]'m gonna lo[F]ve you, [Bb]like nobody l[F]oves you
Bb (let ring) Dm (quiet) C (quiet) F
I'll earn your trust makin' memories of us
