One Of You chords

[Verse 1]
D                    A                     D
Last night I had a dream  Dreamt I had it all
                      G        A               D
I had one truck, one car, one boat and one guitar
                                  G
But all of these things wouldn't get too far
      A                  D
If I didn't have one of you
 
[Verse 2]
D                  A                         D
I work hard every day  To bring home all my pay
                      G         A                D
I got one house, one yard, one dog who likes to bark
                    G
We'd be cold living in the dark
      A                  D
If I didn't have one of you
 
[Bridge]
G                             D
One of you is all I want and all I'll ever need
E                              A
One of you is all it takes to make my life complete

[Chorus]
D               A                     D
This is what I have  You can have it all
                  G         A               D
I got one heart, one love, one dream I'm dreaming of
                             G
Wouldn't have known what to give it all to
       A          A7     D
If I didn't have one of you
 
[Outro]
D                            G
Wouldn't have known what to give it all to
       A          A7     D
If I didn't have one of you

[Verse 1.]
- The notes are D, A, and G.
- Strumming Pattern: Focus on fluid transitions while using a straightforward
down-up strumming pattern.

D, A, and G seamless, practice moving between them.

[Verse 2.]
- Chords are the same as Verse 1 (D, A, G).
- Strumming Pattern: Use the same strumming pattern.
- Tip: Pay attention to the lyrics and chord changes, and make sure your
strumming matches the words.

[Bridge]
