Above The Clouds Acoustic

• Emaj7

                             Paul Weller - Above The Clouds
                                      Paul Weller        
                                         1992
 

This is based on the acoustic version which was played on Later with
Jools Holland in 2001: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzgh4JZf-R0

Towards the end of the chorus and during the Coda there's a chord I 
can't quite work out, I play it as a B7 which sounds okay but Paul plays 
something else. Not sure what though. F#m/B or Bsus4 (x244xx) sound okay as
well. If you can work it out let me know so I can adjust the tab. 

                   Chords:

Emaj7        (076444)   Emaj7*       (xx999-11) 
Amaj7        (x07654)   Emaj7**      (xx9897)
F#m7         (242222)
G#m7         (464444)
B7           (x2120x) or F#m/B       (x242xx)
C#m          (x46654)
A            (577655)
B            (799877)

When playing Emaj7 you'll want to hit the low E string twice before playing
it so something like this:


Also the last three chords in the outro goes something like this:



Intro:   | Emaj7          | Amaj7    | Emaj7          | Amaj7    |
    
         | Emaj7          | Amaj7    | Emaj7          | Emaj7*  Emaj7**  ||


            Emaj7            Amaj7           Emaj7          Amaj7
Verse 1:    Autumn blew it's leaves at me,
            Emaj7              Amaj7         Emaj7          Amaj7
            Threatening winter as I walked,
            Emaj7         Amaj7              Emaj7          Amaj7
            Summer always goes so quick,
            Emaj7           Amaj7            Emaj7
            Barely stopping like my thoughts.


                  F#m7                  (F#m7) G#m7   F#m       G#m7
Chorus 1:   Which dip and spin and change so fast,
              F#m7          (F#m) G#m7   F#m7   B7           
            I have to wonder,                
                   Emaj7        Amaj7    Emaj7          
            will I last?                             

            Emaj7               Amaj7            Emaj7          Amaj7      
Verse 2:    Through the windows of a train,
              Emaj7                  Amaj7       Emaj7     Emaj7*  Emaj7**
            I caught reflections of a paper cup,
            Emaj7              Amaj7             Emaj7          Amaj7
            Hanging small in a pale blue sky,
            Emaj7         Amaj7                  Emaj7          
            Never knowing which way's up.     


            F#m7             (F#m7)  G#m7           
Chorus 2:   Above the clouds,           
                   F#m7         (F#m7) G#m7
            What's to be found?,
              F#m7           (F#m7)  G#m7   F#m7    B7
            I have to wonder,                  ooh
                      Emaj7         Amaj7   Emaj7
            will I be around?


         C#m                   F#m7
Bridge :    As my anger shouts,   at my own self doubt,
         C#m                    F#m7
            So a sadness creeps,     into my dreams,
         C#m                             F#m7
            When you're scared of living,     but afraid to die,
          A                            B               B
            I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it, 
            Emaj7         Amaj7    Emaj7        
            Oh yeh,                 yeh yeh yeh.

            Time just lingers on the wind,
            Emaj7                Amaj7         Emaj7          Amaj7  
            Bristlin' through my open fears,
              Emaj7            Amaj7           Emaj7          
            I wonder what it's goin' to bring.
