Carrie Underwood – Just A Dream chords

Sub Am7 for all the Am, and C9 for the C if you want, adds a little to the song.

Em                                            GIt was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
               EmAll dressed in white
                         GGoing to the church that night
            Em                              GShe had his box of letters in the passenger seat
              Em                                  GSixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue


             AmAnd when the church doors opened up wide

She put her veil down
                   GTrying to hide the tears

Oh she just couldn't believe it
          Am                CShe heard trumpets from the military band
        DAnd the flowers fell out of her hand


GBaby why'd you leave me

Why'd you have to go?
      Em                                       AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
C            DI can't even breathe
              GIt's like I'm looking from a distance

Standing in the background
Em                                           AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now
              C            DThis can't be happening to me
                      Em GThis is just a dream


    Em                                         GThe preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
                     Em             GLord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt
          Em                             GThen the congregation all stood up and sang
            Em                 GThe saddest song that she ever heard


          AmThen they handed her a folded up flag
        C                              GAnd she held on to all she had left of him

Oh, and what could have been
             Am        CAnd then the guns rang one last shot
       DAnd it felt like a bullet in her heart


GBaby why'd you leave me

Why'd you have to go?
      Em                                       AmI was counting on forever, now I'll never know
C            DI can't even breathe
              GIt's like I'm looking from a distance

Standing in the background
Em                                           AmEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now
              C            DThis can't be happening to me
         GThis is just a dream


Em Am G C D
