Chris Knight - If I Were You First Version: chords and tabs for the song. Watch chords and tablatures for all songs of the singer (group) Chris Knight. Other chords and tabs for the "If I Were You" can find at the bottom of the page. Again, from memory and I'm bored at work. I should probably sit down and actually confirm these chords as I play them. I'm quite sure what's in my head is right, but sometimes the alcohol isn't enough :) I wrote a song a while back...I guess it's similar in some ways. But the song is called "Hand Me Down". Remember to capo on the 5th fret and thumb the second fret on the low E when you see the (D) chords. I love this tune, man.
