{Two, three, four}


[Intro]

(Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo)
(Woo Hoo, Woo Hoo)

Em B7 Em  

[Verse 1]

N/C  (muted brisk strumming throughout singing)
Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
N/C
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
Em  B7  Em
N/C
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Em  B7  Em
N/C
I felt a little fear upon my back

He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking.
Em  B7  Em
N/C
When the big black horse said, "Hey lady!" {When the big black horse said, "Look this way"}

Said, "Look this way, will you marry me?" {Said, "Hey, lady, will you marry me?"}
Em  B7  Em


[Chorus]

   Em      D       Dsus2     Cmaj7  Em   
But I said no, no, no_____o, no-no-no
Em     D       C7                    Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
Em  D   Dsus2     Cmaj7 
No, no, no-----o, no-no-no
       Em  D   C7                    Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me

N/C  (some woohoo____ooo-ing)


[Verse 2]

N/C  (muted brisk strumming throughout singing)
And my heart hit a problem, in the early hours,
N/C
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
Em  B7  Em (Repeat strumming from verses for middle 8)
N/C
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it,
Em  B7  Em
N/C
And it won't forgive me after all these years

Em  B7  Em
N/C
So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Em  B7  Em
N/C
Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy

And now I've got a hole for the world to see
Em  B7  Em
N/C

[Chorus]

   Em      D       Dmaj7     Cmaj7  Em   
But I said no, no, no_____o, no-no-no
Em     D       C7                    Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me
Em  D   Dmaj7     Cmaj7 
No, no, no-----o, no-no-no
       Em  D   C7                    Em
I said no, no, you're not the one for me

[sung acapella]

   Em      D       Dsus2     Cmaj7  Em
Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
C7                    Em
You're not the one for me
Em  D   Dsus2     Cmaj7  Em  D   C7
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
C7                    Em
You're not the one for me


(do, do, do, do)

Well I was
Em        D   Dsus2    Cmaj7   Em
Big black horse and a cherry tree
Em        D                       C7               Em
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
Em        D  Dsus2    Cmaj7    Em   
Big black horse and a cherry tree
Em  D   Dsus2 Cmaj7   Em
No, no, no, no, no,no,no
Em  D   Dsus2  Cmaj    Em   
No, no, no, no, no,no,no
Em            D                  C7               Em
I can't quite get there cause my heart's forsaken me
