Capo on 1st fret!
Intro:
G, Bm, Cadd9, G
Verse 1:
G Bm
Here I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Cadd9 G
Same old tired, lonely place
Walls of insincerity
Bm Cadd9 G
Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face
Cadd9 Em7 D
All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
G
Your eyes whispered "have we met?"
Bm Cadd9 G
Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me
G
The playful conversation starts
Bm Cadd9 G
Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
Cadd9 Em7 D
And it was enchanting to meet you
Cadd9 Em7 D
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you
Chorus:
Cadd9 G D
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
Cadd9 G D
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
Em7 D G
I was enchanted to meet you
Verse 2: (same as verse 1)
The lingering question kept me up
2am, who do you love?
I wonder till I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say,
It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you
Chorus:
Cadd9 G D
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
Cadd9 G D
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
Cadd9 G D
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
Cadd9 G D
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
Em7 D G
I was enchanted to meet you
I'm not positive on the chord progression of the musical break here, but a mix of
G's Cadd9's and D's sounds good to me:)
Bridge:
Cadd9
This is me praying that this was the very first page
Em7 G D Cadd9
Not where the story line ends
Em7 D Cadd9
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
Em7 G D Cadd9
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
Em7 D
I was enchanted to meet you
G Bm
Please don't be in love with someone else
Cadd9 G D
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
G Bm
Please don't be in love with someone else
Cadd9 G D
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Chorus 3:
Cadd9 G D
This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
Cadd9 G D
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
Cadd9 G D Cadd9
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
Cadd9 G D
This night is flawless, don't you let it go
Cadd9 G D
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

How to play "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift on guitar
Intro and Verse Strumming Pattern:
- The strumming pattern is primarily down-down-up-up-down-up, which
captures the flowing and wistful feel of the song.
- Strum gently to reflect the song's ethereal and reflective nature.
Capo and Chord Transitions:
- Place a capo on the 1st fret to play along with the original key.
- Transition between G, Bm, Cadd9, and occasionally Em7 and D,
ensuring that each chord is clearly articulated.
Chorus Technique:
- Increase the strumming intensity slightly to emphasize the emotional
build-up in the chorus.
- Focus on smooth transitions, especially when moving to D, to
maintain the song’s momentum.
Bridge Focus:
- The bridge requires a more pronounced dynamic change. Consider
using palm muting or softer strums to start, then build intensity
as the bridge progresses.
- Pay attention to the emotional delivery of lyrics like "This is me
praying that this was the very first page," reflecting the song’s
heartfelt plea.
Common Mistakes:
- Not adjusting the strumming dynamics between the verses and chorus,
which can lead to a monotonous rendition.
- Rushing through the chord transitions. Practice keeping a steady
rhythm to let each chord resonate.
Outro and Final Thoughts:
- As the song moves towards the outro, reintroduce the softer strumming
pattern used in the intro.
- End on a reflective note, allowing the final chords to ring out
as you softly strum through the outro.
Lyrics Overview:
"Enchanted" is a vivid portrayal of a fleeting yet profound encounter,
filled with longing and the hopeful desire for a deeper connection.
The song masterfully captures the magic and anticipation of meeting
someone who leaves a lasting impression.
