In my boots and leather coat

Standing there at the top

It almost seemed like a knocking shop

When the girls came out of their rooms
G F
And they all stood around
C
And stared at me
G F C G
Two brunettes and a blonde
F C
Then the old brass shrugged and said
G F C C
We don’t know where she’s gone
F
Later on I picked up the ball

And I took off down the line
G F C
I suppose by then I’d realised
G F C
You’d run into hard times
Am
Oh, laughs and jokes
C F
And drinks and smokes
C F
And no lights on the stairs
Am
We were young, so young
C F
And always broke

With the sorry river tricks

So I get the bottle open

At the face that I deserve

11. Wherever I Go
Key: B Major
Time: 4/4
To play without capo hit transpose button to +4 (not recommended, buy a capo!).
As it often happens with mainly piano songs, chord voicings are quite varied.
Some guitar chords are crucial, though, and played through the song identically.
Basically, you can always simplify fancy chords to first letter (e.g. Cadd9 to C).
CAPO: 4
G5.....................[3x00xx]
Cadd9..................[x32033] or simplify to C
D5.....................[xx023x] or simplify to D
Csus2..................[x30033] or simplify to C
C/G....................[332010]
D5/F#..................[2x023x]
Dsus2..................[xx003x]

From one place to the next

Heaven knows why
G Cadd9
But in the wild blue yonder
D5/F# G C/G G Csus2
Your star is fixed in my sky
G C
Just another bar at a cross roads
D5/F#
So far from home
G Cadd9 C D5/F#
But that’s alright
G C
Whenever I’m going down a dark road
D/F# G C G
I don’t feel the mood in the night
C
There’s a place in my heart
G Cadd9
Though we're far apart
G/B D5/F# Dsus2 D5/F#
May you always know?
G Cadd9
No matter how long since I saw you
