Save Me
(Transcribed by Jim McGuire)


To sing this song I put a capo on the guitar at the 7th fret to suit my voice
Intro..........
Bflat         F              C add7         Dm
Bflat         F              C add7        Dm
Bflat         F              C add7        Dm
Bflat         F              C add7        A

Hey you in the distance you smiled from my past
Am9                F        Am9               F
Here's a song I wrote for you and all I'm left to do is feel when I sing it
C                            G                       F                  E

The next 2 lines ... same chords
She speaks in staccato and she writes without rhyme
I keep leaving love about and keeping myself out all that's left is to feel it
And I feel all the time  
E
                   
  Save me          Save me 
Am       F  G     Am      F  G

The next verse the same chords

Take the lady out walking with a bottle of wine
We'll kiss a little in the glow of the drinking if it snows
She won't freeze and shatter
Let her down with the dawning let her break like she will
Cos there's nothing you can do I'm the kind that makes it through 
Just to crumble and shatter
But she's just being silly so what does it matter

 Save me            Save me            Save me
Am      F  G      Am       F   G     Am        F   G 
Save me                  Save me                    Save me
Bflat  F C add7  Dm      Bflat    F   C add7  Dm    Bflat    F     C add7

Instrumental......as in the Intro... the same chords

Change of key from  Am9 to Bm9(I tend to play just Bm)
All chords go up one key as follows
F to G       C  to  D          G  to   A         E   to F#

Take my dreams on vacation to a room with a view
Out the window all I see is a space inside of me 
That could be filled with you
Loves lost in the difference of opinions you're gone
And I'm home again with pride and a little love inside
and a lot more alone  and a lot more alone
                            B            A
Go back to the Am9 progression

All my doorways are open on to days without form 
And I cover the night in the warmth of loving light
And the yet to be born I'm closing the distance with love in the far, far away

Save me   Save me      Save me     close with as intro...........................
Am9 is played by removing your ring finger from its position on the Am chord and by
placing it on the 4th fret same string. It is so much easier with a capo on.
