                        Where's life ?
                        **************

Normal Tunning (EADGBE)

chords :
------

Em      : 022000
EmVII   : 779987
Am      : 002210
AmV     : 577555
BmVII   : 799777
Bm7VII  : 779777

To play this song like the master, play Em with your third and fourth finger
on the 4th and 5th string, then slide while continuing to play the first three 
strings G, B, E, up to the 14th fret. Then play only the three first strings 
with your 1st finger crossing them at the 12th fret. Come back to Am and then
go to BmVII with your fingers sliding in the Am position... !
It's too complicated to explain in a text. Just hear the song and try it !

It should look like :

E|--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-12-12-0-0-0-7-7--5-5--0
B|--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-12-12-1/////7-7--5-5--0
G|--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-12-12-2/////7-7--5-5--0   and do it again...
D|--2/////////14-----------2/////9-9--7-7--2
A|--2/////////14-----------0-----9-9--7-7--2
E|--0--0-0-0-0-0-----------0-----7-7--5-5--0

//// : means slow and regular slide

Once you've got it, you simply play it again and again and start singing :

Part 1
------
Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 Please tell me where...             life is ?
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/keziah_jones/wheres_life_crd.html ]
Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 I'm feeling scared...               like this    

Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 Why do you ask ?...                 Sadness

Em (slide etc.)        Am BVII AmV  Em (slide etc.)...
 Why should you care ?...            This madness kills   


Part 2 :
------
EmVII  AmV              Bm7VII       EmVII and do it again
           Talking like one of those reasons
           Looking like one of those dreams
           looking like one of those moments

AmVII  AmV (let ring)   
           You can't fool me


And then on again with the sliding stuff (part 1's rythm):

I'd like to see...       Spring
When will you be with... me ?
Why should you care ?... Madness
Why do you ask ?...      This sadness kills


With part 2's rythm :

You're lyin'
You're lyin'
You're lyin'
You're lyin'
Moments, dreams and reasons
Moments + dreams make love
Come in seasons
Yeah ! Seasons

With part 1's rythm :

Where do we go...        from here ?
These lonely roads...    I fear
Wipe your tears
Don't you worry
I'll always be here
For you

With part 2's rythm :

You're lyin'
You're lyin'
You're lyin'
You're lyin'
Look at your face !
You're looking like one of those reasons
(You're cryin')
You're looking like one of those dreams
(Look at your face)
You're looking like one of those moments
You can't fool me...


Note :
----
For part 2's rythm, on a 4/4 measure, you play :
EmVII : 4 times
AmV   : 3 times
Bm7VII: 1 time
And on again !

In fact this song is a dialog between "Chance" and "Destiny". Hear the song,
you'll recognize who tells what...
