Nobody But You

Nobody But You
James Taylor (1973)

 E                   G#7                 C#m7           Amaj7
Everybody knows that I'm just a Joe that likes to hang around,

G#m7     G#7     C#m7                     F#7    F#m7/B
talking about my problems, bringing other people down.

          E              G#7
Well this may be so, but not long ago, 

      C#m7                      Amaj7
I was sitting on the top of the world.

        G#m7        G#7        C#m7      Bm7    A     F#m7/B  E
Sure is strange how things can turn themselves around.


            E                       G#7                   C#m7             Amaj7
When I'm in need of a little bit of consultation, used to call on my Uncle John.

       G#m7         G#7     C#m7             F#7      F#m7/B
Took a trip down to West Virginia, found him dead and gone.

       E                         G#7
And as some sort of silly little consolation, 

     C#m7             Amaj7
they gave me a ticket back.

G#m7           G#7     C#m7        Bm7     A   F#m7/B   E
What you gonna do with folks like that?


        D/E                   E
You can talk about bands of angels,

         Amaj7     G#m7           C#m7         G#m7
and they think you come with your soul in your hands 

   C#m7        Bm7    F#m7  F#m7/B
to set their children free.

        E                        G#7
But you talk about little bit of understanding,  

            C#m7               Amaj7
things that happen day to day.

G#m7        G#7        C#m7           Bm7     A   F#m7/B   E
Some of you folks sure 'nuf have been good to me.


    D/E                   E
You come on talking about angel bands,

         Amaj7     G#m7           C#m7         G#m7
and they think you come with your soul in your hands 

        C#m7      Bm7      F#m7  F#m7/B
just to set their children free.

        E                        G#7
But you talk about little bit of understanding,  

            C#m7               Amaj7
things that happen day to day.

G#m7    G#7      C#m7  Bm7  A   F#m7/B   E
Someone has been good  to   me.


E             G#7             C#m7                         
   Nobody but you, nobody but you, 

  Bm7      Amaj7  F#m7/B   E 
nobody but you, nobody but you, 

E             G#7             C#m7                         
   Nobody but you, nobody but you, 

  Bm7      Amaj7  F#m7/B   E 
nobody but you, nobody but you, 

E    G#7                 C#m7    Bm7     Amaj7  F#m7/B        
   Nobody but you, Say nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody   

(Keep riffing and end on E)
