Chord/Tab song: Reaching Out From Here

THE BOO RADLEYS, Reaching Out From Here.

Written by Martin Carr.

Transcription and submission by Fabrice Dubois.


Here is the way I like to play this
brilliant song. I can not guarantee
this is the real stuff, but it's OK.

First of all, you have to tune up a
half tone the thin e string, in order
to make it sound like F.

[F] It's not that [C#maj7]I am different
D# F
It's not that you have changed
C#maj7 D# F
This place has done its damage, it's so hard to explain

The sky it bends my back, my crooked shape remains
The gravi[C#maj7]ty's much stronger
D# F
And nothing here has ever changed.

C#maj7 D# F
And it looks like another rainy day
C#maj7 D# F
Sittin' here lonely by my window
C#maj7 D# F
Waitin' for you to come home
C#maj7 D# F
Waitin' for you to come home
C#maj7 D# Fsus
Waitin' for you to come home

F C#maj7 D# F
I never wanted anything but you alone
But I miss the pl[C#maj7]ace that I love,

I get up [C#maj7]in the morning [D#7]and I wait for [F]you all day

C#maj7 D# F
And it looks like another rainy day
C#maj7 D# F
Sittin' here lonely by my window

Waitin' for you to come home

Waitin' for you to come home
