Where've You Been (J. Vezner & D. Henry (c) 1989) Claire had all but given up [D Am7 D] When she and Edwin fell in love [G4 G D/F# Em] She touched his face and shook her head [D Am7 D] In disbelief, she sighed and said, [G4 G G4 B7] "In many dreams I've held you near [Am7 Bm7] Now, at last, you're really here." [C G/B Am7 D] "Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G] Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I'm just not myself when you're away." [C D G] He asked her for her hand for life [D Am7 D] And she became a salesman's wife [G4 G D/F# Em] He was home each night by eight [D Am7 D] But one stormy evening, he was late [G4 G G4 B7] Her frightened tears fell to the floor [Am7 Bm7] Until his key turned in the door. [C G/B Am7 D] "Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G] Where've you been? [G Bm7 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 [Em] Now they're in a hospital [C /b] In separate beds on different floors [Am D] Claire soon lost her memory [D Am7 D] Forgot the names of family [G4 G D/F# Em] She never spoke a word again [D Am7 D] Then one day, they wheeled him in [G4 G G4 B7] He held her hand and stroked her hair [Am7 Bm7] In a fragile voice she said, [C G/B Am7 D] "Where've you been? [G Bm7 Am7] I've looked for you forever and a day [C D G] Where've you been? [G Bm7 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)] PX apr00
