Where've You Been Tab par Kathy Mattea

Intro:

G   Em   C

C   D    G

Verse 1:

D                 Am       D

Claire had all but given up
      C      G/B   D/F#      Em

When she and Edwin fell  in love
D                   Am                D

She touched his face and shook her head
    C    G/B       D/F#       B7

In disbelief, she sighed and said
Am                   G/B

In many dreams I've held you near
C        G/B          Am     D

Now, at last, you're really here


Chorus:

G         Em   C

Where've you been
      C                            G

I've looked for you forever and a day
G        Em   C

Where've you been
Em                        D      G

I'm just not myself when you're away

Verse 2:

D                     Am       D

He asked her for her hand for life
     C     G/B    D/F#       Em

And she became a salesman's wife
D                 Am       D

He was home each night by eight
         C      G/B     D/F#      B7

But one stormy evening, he   was late
Am                        G/B

Her frightened tears fell to  the floor
C         G/B        Am      D

Until his key turned in the door


[Chorus]


Interlude:

C   D   G


Bridge:

C

They'd never spent a night apart
     Em

For sixty years she heard him snore
C         
            
Now they're in a hospital
     Am                        D7 – Am7/D  D7

In separate beds on different floors


Verse 3:

D                     Am   D

Claire soon lost her memory
   C        G/B     D/F#       Em

Forgot the names of fa    -    mily
D                  Am   D

She never spoke a word again
C        G/B         D/F#      B7

Then one day, they wheeled him in
    Am                G/B

He held her hand and stroked her hair
C     G/B     Am        D

In a fragile voice she said


[Chorus]

     D                               C

No, I'm just not myself when you're away
