Hi everyone! From this years John Lewis Christmas advert, this song has already
proved incredibly popular, and I hope these chords will as well :)
They aren't exactly right, and so if you come up with something better, then
please comment, I'll be glad to hear your feedback! Thanks, and merry Christmas!
Standard tuning
Capo on 3rd fret
[G]I walked across an [Bm]empty land
[Am]I knew the pathway like the[Dsus] back of my [D]hand
[G]I felt the earth be[Bm]neath my feet
[Am]Sat by the river and it [Dsus]made me com[D]plete
[Em]Oh simple thing, wh[Bm]ere have you gone?
[C]I'm getting tired and I n[Dsus]eed someone to [D]rely on
[G]I came across a [Bm]fallen tree
[Am]I felt the branches of [Dsus]it looking a[D]t me
[G]Is this the plac[Bm]e we used to love?
[Am]Is this the place that[Dsus] I've been dreami[D]ng of
[Em]Oh simple thing, [Bm]where have you gone?
[C]I'm getting old and I ne[Dsus]ed something t[D]o rely on
[Am]And if you have a mi[Bm]nute, why don't w[G]e go
[Am]Talk about it s[Bm]omewhere only we kn[G]ow?
[Am]This could be the end o[Bm]f everythi[G]ng
[Am]So why don't we go [Bm]somewhere only [C]we know
[Dsus]Somewhere onl[C]y we kno[G]w
[Em]Oh simple thing, [Bm]where have you gone?
[C]I'm getting old and I ne[Dsus]ed something t[D]o rely on
[Em]So tell me when y[Bm]ou're gonna let me in
[C]I'm getting tired and I [Dsus]need somewhere to[D] begin
[Am]And if you have a mi[Bm]nute, why don't w[G]e go
[Am]Talk about it s[Bm]omewhere only we kn[G]ow?
[Am]'Cos This could be the [Bm]end of eve[G]rything
[C]So why don't we go[Bm] somewh[Am]ere onl[E]y we know
[Dsus]Somewhere onl[C]y we kno[G]w
The only part I'm really not sure about is this last line, but thanks for looking
at these chords, and I hope you enjoy them :)
