Song: I Hope You Dance
Artist: Lee Ann Womack
Tabbed By: Jon Aleman
This is a wonderful song, I absolutely love it. I tabbed this song with a capo on the
first fret but you can play the barred chords and it sounds fine. Remember, all chords are
realtive to the capo.

VERSE 1:
A
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
F#m
Get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
D
May you never take one single breath for granted
E
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
D E A
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
D E A
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Bm B/D D
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
Esus F
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
F#m/D/A/Asus
I hope you dance
F#m D/Esus/E
I hope you dance
VERSE 2: (Same chords as first)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
CHORUS:
F#m D A Asus F#m D Esus/E
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along)
I hope you dance I hope you dance
F#m D A Asus F#m D Esus/E
(Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder where those years have gone)
I hope you dance
This all repeats itself over and over in different order with the same lyrics and
chords, the only different part is the outro, which is below.
OUTRO:
Esus/E/A (Repeat and fade)
