WHERE'VE YOU BEEN

J. Vezner & D. Henry (c) 1989



Claire had all but given up [D a7 D]

When she and Edwin fell in love [Gsus4 G D/F# Em]

She touched his face and shook her head [D a7 D]

In disbelief, she sighed and said, [Gsus4 G Gsus4 B7]

"In many dreams I've held you near [a7 Bm7]

Now, at last, you're really here." [C G/B a7 D]

"Where've you been? [G b7 Am7]

I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G]

Where've you been? [G b7 Am7]

I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G]



He asked her for her hand for life [D a7 D]

And she became a salesman's wife [Gsus4 G D/F# Em]

He was home each night by eight [D a7 D]

But one stormy evening, he was late [Gsus4 G Gsus4 B7]

Her frightened tears fell to the floor [a7 Bm7]

Until his key turned in the door. [C G/B a7 D]

"Where've you been? [G b7 Am7]

I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G]

Where've you been? [G b7 Am7]

I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G]



They'd never spent a night apart C

For sixty years she heard him snore e

Now they're in a hospital [C /b]

In separate beds on different floors [a D]



Claire soon lost her memory [D a7 D]

Forgot the names of family [Gsus4 G D/F# Em]

She never spoke a word again [D a7 D]

Then one day, they wheeled him in [Gsus4 G Gsus4 B7]

He held her hand and stroked her hair [a7 Bm7]

In a fragile voice she said, [C G/B a7 D]

"Where've you been? [G b7 Am7]

I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G]

Where've you been? [G b7 Am7]

I'm just not myself when you're away. [C D Em]

No, I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D C (G)]
