Wherever You Are

Transcribed by Tom Johnstone

This one is taken from Neil's performance on VH1 Uncut. Not too many common chords here--Neil plays chords in this song I've not seen him play elsewhere. Note that the Bm chord used in the first two choruses is a little ambiguous, though after that Neil plays the standard Bm barre shape.


Verse

F#m11/A                  G6         Dadd2/4
Wherever you are, it's 3 am and I'm awake
  
F#m11/A                     G6               Dadd2/4
Imagine the light upon your blue transparent face

F#m11/A                            G6              Dadd2/4
Through coloured glass, it filters down to warmest red

F#7*
Faded


Chorus

        Bmadd4             A6 
I'm the one who reads your mind

       G6           F#m7
See my life in your design

     Fmaj7             Em7
True companion at your side


(Repeat Verse and Chorus)

 

Bridge

              B7                 Em7
I'll give you something for when I'm not around

            B7
To make you smile

           Gsus2/#4                 G 
And if you think it then it must be true

   Gsus2/#4             G
If only I could make it through

              Bm
Climb into my bed

F#m11/A           G6   Dadd2/4
Wherever you are

F#m11/A           G6   Dadd2/4
Wherever you are

F#m11/A                         G6             Dadd2/4
Your timing is good, remove the sad persistent thought

F#7
All because


(Repeat Chorus)

 


Bridge

              B7                 Em7
I'll give you something for when I'm not around

            B7                      Em7
To make you smile, get outside that wasteland

       Gsus2/#4           G 
And if only I can make it through

       Gsus2/#4                 G
If you think it then it must be true


Outro

Wherever you are
