LEADING ME BACK TO YOU
by: Joe Sample & Michael Franks (1988)
from the Joe Sample album "Spellbound"
Fm7 / Fm/Bb / | Ebma7(?) / Cm7 (?) / | (2X)
/ Ebma7
I guess I flew too high
/ (or )
Icarus falling from the sky
Abma7 -ma7 ()
But in the dense rain forest heat
Somehow I landed on my feet
/ / | /
With the will to sur - vive.
Bbm7b5 ()
And in the heart of darkness
Abm7 Abm9 (Db7-9 or Db9)
Without a chance of rescue
(G7sus)
I never quit, I just refused
Cma7 / / / | / / Dm7 Em7
I thought of you
Somehow I know I'd find you
(Abma7/Bb)(Bb13-9) Ebma7 G7+5
Following my heart's com - pass
Abma7
And your love
-5 (?-9)
Your love was leading me back to you.
Now the ordeal is over
? Ebma7 ?
Now I can feel your heartbeat
Abma7
And your love
Your love is leading me back to you.
/ / / | Ebma7(?) / (?) / | (2X)
/ Ebma7
Daylight be - gan to show
/ / / / | / /
A jungle painted by Rou - sseau
Abma7 -ma7
I walked a - round in circles lost
Above the spider-monkeys laughed
/ / | / |
At my failure be - low.
Bbm7b5
And in the heart of darkness
Without a chance of rescue
?
I never quit, I just refused
Cma7 / / / | / / Dm7 Em7
I thought of you
Somehow I know I'd find you
Ebma7
Following my heart's compass
Abma7
And your love
Your love was leading me back to you.
Now the ordeal is over
Ebma7
Now I can feel your heartbeat
Abma7
And your love
Your love is leading me back to you.
