There is already a transcription of this Song at COWPIE, but it has many
wrong/missing chords. So I decided to do a exact transription.


"I'm Already Taken" By Steve Wariner
Written by Terry Ryan and Steve Wariner
To be found on the CD "TWO TEARDROPS"

Key in G - Standard Guitar Tuning

Transcribed by Bahram ( Bahram@garthworld.de )

This is the first time I am doing a tabulature transcription. I hope that I
haven't done anything wrong here and hope that you'll enjoy playing the song
as much as me.
Just do me a favor : If you ever play this song, then play it with the smooth
and soft feeling that it deserves. That's the reason why I spent more time on
transcribing this song, then on any other song before.

           G                      Am7              C               D
My little third grade hand wrote "I love you" on a note of yellow paper

C                 G/B                  A      A#Dim7         D

    G                        Am7      C                   D
The blonde-haired girl just opened it   and read it to herself
C             G/B                A     A#Dim7      D
 I was so embarrassed when she turned around and said

Verse 2 :

     G                 Am7                 C               D
The years flew by so quickly, and there we were in junior high
C               G/B               Part V2 & D - Fill ( 1'st Part )
I realized that I still loved her so
      G                Am7        C             D
So I called her up and told her exactly how I felt
C                 G/B                  A      A#Dim7         D
Then she said there's something that you really ought to know


Refrain :

            Am7    D                 G   D/F#    Em
I'm already taken, you spoke up too late
           Am7           D                    G
I love somebody else, so you'll just have to wait


Bridge :

   C              G/B               B7           Em                   C  C4_C
So what I did and never changed my love for that little blonde-haired girl
               D
Who's now the mother, of our ....


Verse 3 :

     G                   Am7         C                D
... little blonde-haired boy, who's to our hearts so close
   C                 G/B         Part V2 & D - Fill ( 1'st Part )
I hate to think how fast he's growing up
      G           Am7                C               D
Last night I overheard them, as she tucked him into bed
         C                G/B          A      A#Dim7      D
He said "Mommy will you marry me?" and this is what she said


Refrain :

            Am7    D                 G    D/F#   Em
I'm already taken, you spoke up too late
            Am7            D                    G
I love your daddy, son, so you'll just have to wait
            Am7    D                 G   D/F#    Em
I'm already taken, you spoke up too late
            Am7            D                    C - Single B,A,G Tones
I love your daddy, son, so you'll just have to wait

Play the 1'st two bars of the Intro as the outro and end on a smooth G-Chord.
