You've Been Around (David Bowie, Reeves Gabrels) Transcribed by Emanuele ------------------------------------------------ [Intro: E pedal] G Where's the pain in the violent night? Bm I'm depressed by the grin I stay over many years G I should have thought of that For the love of the money Bm Like a black-hearted violin It's the nature of being Em7 It's too many lonely nights F#7sus4 F#7 I can't tell bad from wrong Cmaj7 I can't pass you by Two exchanging Em7 You've been around But you've changed me G Where the flesh meets the spirit world Bm Where the traffic is thin I slip from a vacant view G I should have thought of that And the sound of tomorrow Bm Like a black-hearted vile thing Like the silence of tension Em7 It's too many lonely nights F#7sus4 F#7 I can't tell good from bad Cmaj7 I can't pass you by Too exchanging Em7 You've been around But you've changed me Cmaj7 You've been around Can't pass you by Em7 You've been around But you've changed me A7 Em7 A7 Em7 D7 Gmaj7 Cmaj7 Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change! [trumpet solo] Too exchanging Em7 You've been around but you've changed me Cmaj7 You've been around can't pass you by ------------------------------------------------ CHORDS: E A D G B E E A D G B E G = 3 (5) 5 4 3 (3) or 3 2 0 0 0 3 Bm = * 2 (4) 4 3 2 or 7 9 9 7 7 7 Em7 = 0 7 (9) 7 8 7 or 0 2 2 0 3 0 F#7sus4 = * * 4 6 5 7 or 2 (4) 2 4 2 (2) F#7 = * * 4 6 5 6 or 2 (4) 2 3 2 (2) Cmaj7 = * 3 5 5 5 7 or * 3 2 0 0 0 A7 = 5 7 (5) 6 8 (5) or * 0 2 0 2 0 D7 = * 5 7 5 7 (5) or * * 0 2 1 2 Gmaj7 = * * 5 7 7 7 or 3 (5) 4 4 3 (3)
