The Robert Cray Band: I Was Warned
There are 3 distinct patterns for the verses.
I've put each of these down- you can figure
it out!
The slide to A7 is the base of the song
A7 G7
e--5-- --3--
b--5-- --3--
g--6-- --4--
d--7-- --5--
a--7-- --5--
E--5-- --3--
Pattern #1
A7
Oh
G7 C7 A#7 A7
I was warned about her love
A7
But like a fool I went on
G7
Whether they're right or wrong
G7 A7
At least the mystery is gone
Pattern #2
G7 A7
The more people talked about her
G7 A7
The more I had to see
G7 A7
Had to find out for myself
A7 A7 A7
What could she do for me
Pattern 2
Her lips were so inviting
Her hand soft to touch
After just one kiss
I knew I was out of luck
Pattern #3
G7
From then on
A7
I was hers to control
A7
And knowing that
G7 A7
She robbed me of my heart
A7
And robbed me of my soul
Pattern #2
Oh
I was warned about her love
and I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or they're wrong
Least the mystery is gone

Pattern 1
From then on
I was hers to control
And knowing that
She robbed me of my heart
And robbed me of my soul
Pattern 2
Oh
I was warned about her love
But like a fool I went on
Whether they're right
Or they're wrong
At least the mystery is gone
Pattern 2
She had her left hand filled with diamonds
And the other filled with lies
She saw right through me
There was no place to hide
Pattern 3
Now I've finally learned my lesson
But you'll never tell
The pain her love left me
I hide so well
Pattern 2
I go on day by day in fear
And knowing that
I'll never never love again
Only brings tears
Oh I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or they're wrong
At least the mystery is gone
3X
Oh
I was warned about her love

Lyrics:
Ohhhhhhhh
I was warned about her love
But like fool I went on
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
The more people talk about her
The more I had to see
Had to find out for myself
What could she do for me
Her lips were so inviting
Her hands soft to touch
After just one kiss
I knew that I was out of luck
From then on I was her to control
And knowing that
She robbed me of my heart
And robbed me of my soul
Ohhhhhhh
I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
(Awesome guitar solo)
From then on I was her to control
And knowing that
She robbed me of my heart
And robbed me of my soul
Ohhhhhhh
I was warned about her love
But like a fool I went on
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
She had her left had filled with diamonds
And the other filled with lies
She saw right through me
There was no place to hide
Now I've finally learned my lesson
But you'll never tell
The pain her love left me
I hide so well
I go on day by day in fear
And knowing that
I'll never, ever love again
Only brings tears
Ohhhhh
I was warned about her love
And I'll have to stay strong
Whether they're right or they're wrong
At least the mystery is gone
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is gone
Whether they're right or wrong
At least the mystery is . . . **** I love how he blends this with
the next line ***
Ohhhhh
I was warned about her love
(A really masterpiece outro!) *** this is my favorite Cray guitar part ***
