Well, the coffee in
my hotel

Ain't as good as yours
at home

It's always weak as water

always make me feel the
way I wanna

That's way too damn

  Em
I tried with all my
might

To see the light but
I was blind

Oh, since I met you
baby
Am
My vision is just fine
          C
Dropped a nickel on the
pavement

Took two steps and found
a dime

I love you like I
always watched my

And I could try to go
without you

But you know that I'd
be lying

If I said I didn't
love you

Waitin' up on me at
night
          G
I've been waiting just
the same

Let's rekindle that
old flame
Oh, keep them home

How to play Yearnin For You: key, chords and progression

Yearnin For You by 49 Winchester is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: G, Em, C, D, Am, Bm and F.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – D – Am (IV – I – V – ii in G major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
