What Might Have Been - Little Texas
Tuning: , E A D G B E
I've seen some versions of this song out there and they seem a bit more complicated than
need be. I think this is a nice way to play through the chords of this song for
intermediate players (like me) who want to keep it simple and work towards adding more
difficult chords as they improve (i.e. in other versions Cm/G is listed. Cadd9 sounds
just as nice
and is easier to get to at times. Also D/G in other posts you can play as a D and I
think it still sounds good. Bm is probably the hardest chord in this song but it's the
correct chord and sounds good). Just my thoughts as this is my first attempt at posting
a tab and I wanted to start with this. I'm in no way claiming this is 100% correct by
any means
it's just a nice version of the song that's easier to play in my opinion. The finger
picking intro I figured out from looking at a combination of other tabs. It may not be
exact but it's pretty darn close and sounds good to me. Hope you enjoy!

Sure I think a
bout you now a
nd then
But it's been
a long long ti
me
I've got a goo
d life now I'v
e moved on
So when you cr
oss my mind
I try not to t
hink about
What might hav
e been
'Cause that wa
s then
And we have ta
ken different
roads
We can't go ba
ck again
There's no use
giving in
And there's no
way to know
What might have been
[INTRO REPEAT]
We could sit a
nd talk about
this all night
long
And wonder why
we didn't las
t
Yes they might
be the best d
ays we will ev
er know
But we'll have
to leave them
in the past
So try not to
think about
What might hav
e been
'Cause that wa
s then
And we have ta
ken different
roads
We can't go ba
ck again
There's no use
giving in
And there's no
way to know
What might hav
e been
[BRIDGE]
That same old
look in your e
yes
It's a beautif
ul night
I'm so tempted
to stay
But too much t
ime has gone b
y
We should just
say goodbye
And turn and w
alk away
And try not to
think about
What might hav
e been
'Cause that wa
s then
And we have ta
ken different
roads
We can't go ba
ck again
There's no use
giving in
And there's no
way to know
What might hav
e been
No we'll never
know
What might have been
