Curtis Mayfield - Here But I'm Gone song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vZzFwR4rVE The whole song is in these two chords: Eb B9 B9(alt) e|-------9-| B|-4-----7-| G|-3--6--8-| D|-5--4--9-| A|-6--6----| E|----7----| if you find the B9 chord difficult to grab, you could leave out the B (7th fret on the E-string). you could also play the alternative form, but I think the first form is better with the lower tones. Lyrics below. Good luck! CHORUS How did I get so far gone Where do I belong And where in the world did I ever go wrong If I took the time to replace What my mind erased I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone VERSE 1 Porched up in a rocking-chair With my feet all bare Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap Live an adolescent mind never do take the time Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept - play CHORUS - VERSE 2 Mama told me I was best Argue and punch in my chest Son now be strong, let me take you home I'd see in her eyes so sincere Screaming, what got me here Standing in the world and with my mind all blown - play CHORUS 2x - VERSE 3 I do nothing but waste all my time Leaving the world behind Smoking my crack just to keep me high Around the boys I play my part rough Keep myself tough enough Never to cry Don't really want to die - play CHORUS 2x -
