Sorry for the rather L-O-N-G delay, but perhaps better late than never . . . maybe you can use 'these' chord changes on your NEXT gig.
The below chords work (at least) for me
:
"Get Here", by Brenda Russell
performed by Oleta Adams
4/4 time
In the key of C:
(hint: first note of the melody is G)
Verse 1:
You can reach me by railway, you can reach me by trailway
You can reach me on an airplane, you can reach me with your mind
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
|Fmaj|Fmaj|C/E| Am7|
|Dm7 |Dm7/G|G/A-Am7|G/A-Am7|
|Fmaj7|Fmaj7|C/E|Am7|
|Dm7|Dm7/G|C|C|
Verse 2:
You can reach me by sail boat, climb a tree and swing rope to rope
Take a sled and slide down the slope, into these arms of mine
You can jump on a speedy colt, cross the border in a blaze of hope
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
|Fmaj|Fmaj|C/E| Am7|
|Dm7 |Dm7/G|G/A-Am7|G/A-Am7|
|Fmaj7|Fmaj7|C/E|Am7|
|Dm7|Dm7/G|C|Dm7-Em7|
Bridge:
There are hills and mountains between us
Always something to get over
If I had my way, surely you would be closer
I need you closer
|F|G/F|Em7|Em/G|
|Am|Am/G|Fmaj7|/-Am7|
|Dm7|F/G|
Last Verse-Ending:
You can windsurf into my life, take me up on a carpet ride
You can make it in a big balloon, but you better make it soon
You can reach me by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just - get here if you can
I don't care how you get here, just -- get here if - you can
|Fmaj|Fmaj|C/E| Am7|
|Dm7 |Dm7/G|G/A-Am7|G/A-Am7|
|Fmaj7|Fmaj7|C/E|Am7|
|Dm7|Dm7/G|C|C/E|
|Fmaj7-F/G|Cadd9|
Hope the above works for you.
