I find that using the B chord above is better than the full barre
chord in the seventh fret. It gives the song a chunkier sound,
but of course, do what feels and sounds best to you.
E
First time I crossed my heart I was beggin' baby please
At your bedside Down on my knees
A
When I crossed my heart
E
When I crossed my heart
B E
I crossed my heart Pretty baby over you
E
Second time I crossed my heart rain came in from the south
I was lyin' there with somethin' sweet and salty in my mouth
A
When I crossed my heart
E
When I crossed my heart
B E
I crossed my heart pretty darlin' over you
A
Well you may think the world is black and white
E
And you're dirty or you're clean
A
You better watch out you don't slip
B
Through those spaces in between
E
Where the night gets sticky and the sky turns black
I grabbed you baby and you grabbed me back
A
And we crossed our hearts
E
We crossed our hearts
B E
Yeah I crossed my heart ..........
Repeat chords twice
A
Well little boys little girls
E
Hell they know their wrongs from their rights
A
And once you cross your heart
B
You ain't never supposed to lie
E
Well life ain't nothing but a cold hard ride
I ain't leavin' 'till I'm satisfied
A
I cross my heart
E
Yeah I cross my heart
B E
Well I cross m y heart pretty darlin' over you
