Kathy Mattea – Whereve You Been (Ukulele)

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

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

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

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

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

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

     D                               C
No I'm just not myself when you're away
