Walter Whitman Where Are You?

Friends, if you feel you have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! The
objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate
transcription of his music for all of us to enjoy.
I have attempted to chart this material as accurately
as possible, yet there remain passages that I'm still
not entirely comfortable with, and I strongly encourage
any outside input! Since I am a member of this site,
it is possible for me to edit any of these charts.

 Whitman where are you

           C/Eb    C7/Ab              G/Ab             Abmaj7   F9/A
Among the stars            or, in the earth beneath my shoe

                Adim
It's just  I'm wondering

           Eb6      Db13    C7-9+5     A/C
Could you walk with me     awhile

          F13             Eb+5/F
And maybe heaven could spare    you

   awhile

        F7/Eb         Eb6       Cm7     Dbmaj7/Eb
Walter Whitman I confess


    C/Eb     G+5/F
My faith is shaken


        G/Ab         Abmaj7      F9/A
And my life's a holy mess

              Adim
Yes, I need deliverance

        Ebmaj9      Db13       C7-9+5
But I'd settle      for a     smile

           F13       Eb+5/F     Bb11   Bb13-9
Now maybe heaven           can spare    you

F/A                        Abm6              Eb/G

        Gm7     Cm9       Gbm9      Db/B            Abmaj7/Bb     Bb13-9
"Don't worry    boy, shut up,      enjoy,    be    free"


       F7/Eb         Eb6
Walter Whitman I declare


E13       F13      Gb13       G13       G/Ab
      I could sing songs of   joy

                        Abmaj7
Through my darkness and despair


              Adim
It's just I'm hoping

           Ebmaj7   Db13     C7-9+5
You could shed    a little  light

           F13         F7+5    Bb11   Bb13-9
That is if heaven         can spare   you     t
