Every Little Thing

I'd like this blog to contain a healthy number of posts about music. My friend Todd recently asked me if I could send him the chords for a song, "Every Little Thing" by Olentangy John.

A quick Google search didn't seem to turn up any results. I actually couldn't even find the lyrics. So the following is my rough cut at a lead sheet for this song. If I were a better guitar player, I'd provide some tabs for the guitar part. I still may do that, but it'll have to wait for now.

Every Little Thing
By Olentangy John

INTRO (4 bars)
G     /     /     /

VERSE 1
G
I built a house up on the hill where I                           
C             G
Always said I would. Watch you
C                      G
Pass on the interstate below but
D                C
I don't remember you or what it is you
G
Drove. But

CHORUS
Em    D      C
Every little thing. Yes
Em    D      C
Every little thing I done is
G
Yours. And

Em    D      C
Every little word. Yes
Em    D      C
Every little word I sung was
G
Mine.

VERSE 2
I seen a girl in church sittin' three rows back in a
Dress that you would wear. She's
Doin' that thing you used to do with your hair, but her
Mama don't look like yours and your mama wouldn't be sittin'
There. But

CHORUS
Every little move. Yes
Every little move she makes is
Square. And

Every little thing. Yes
Every little thing she says is
Fair.

VERSE 3
I built a house up on the hill, but
I can't call it home.
Too many eyes in the pine walls and the
Interstate headlight faces burn too bright in the
Dawn. But

CHORUS
But every little thing. Yes
Every little thing
I done is yours. And

Every little word. Yes
Every little word I sung was
Mine. And

Every little thing. Yes
Every little thing I own is
There.
