Let Me Be The One

This is based on the transcription by Alexander Hsi pu Feng

<ahf1@acpub.duke.edu>. Some of the chords have minor fixes and in the

previous transcription. several key chords were misplaced. This version

fixes all of these.

The C(9) chord which was previously placed here is actually just a C

chord fingered a bit different. Also in place of these G Chords should

be a Gmaj7. Also some C? turned out to be Fs and such.

C 032013

D x00232

D9 x00230

Dsus x00233

F 133211 (barre the first fret)

Gmaj7 320002 (or an easier one -> 3x0002). I prefer this fingering for

pure simplicity and chord structure. Chords tend to ring

better if you have an open fifth at the root instead of

of a triad. To finger this correctly, simply use your

thumb to mute the A string.

One last note before we get started. In the chorus, the D chord is

jazzed up by doing the following...

D Then the following G chord

e [-2-------2-----3---2---0-----22--3--]

B [-3-------3-----3---3---3-----33--3--]

G [-2-------2-----2---2---2-----22--2--]

D [------------------------------------]

A [------------------------------------]

E [-x-------x-----x---x---x-----xx--x--]

LET ME BE THE ONE - Blessid Union of Souls

 

So you're scared to show your feelings

Baby I do understand

Well I don't make a promise I can't keep

And I vow to be a real good friend

In those big green eyes I see a glow of fire

I just hope that I'm the one you're dreaming of

*Chorus:

G C D, Dsus, D, D9, D

Let me be the one to love you (ohh)

G C D, Dsus

Let me be the one to care

G C D, Dsus, D, D9, D

Let me be the one to light your flame

Oh baby, oh baby

D n.c.

Let me be the one

We spend all our time together

We can't stand to sleep alone

When you say you have to leave for now

I miss you before you're gone

All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)

Every moment that we spend goes by too fast

Darling darling take this chance on me

Cause I have eyes only for you

Chorus (x2). Below is coming out of second chorus

Oh baby, come on

Let me be the one

( 4 bars of drums )

So you're scared to show your feelings

Baby I do understand

Well I don't make a promise I can't keep

And I vow to be a real good friend

All along we thought this was absurd (absurd)

Every moment that we spend goes by too fast

Darling darling take this chance on me

I have eyes only for you

Chorus (x2)
