Just Be Chords

   
Transcribed from the premiere of this wonderful song on Jools Holland's Later programme 
on BBC2, May 2012
That performance was accompanied by piano - no guitar -
so I hope the following represents a good arrangement for solo guitar.

Standard tuning, capo 1
All chords relative to open tuning
i.e. for Asus2 play x02200 which is in fact A#sus2


Chords
------

Asus2   x02200
Bsus4   x24400
C#m     x46650
E       022100
B/G#    4x4400


Intro
-----

Asus2   E   C#m   Bsus4
Asus2   E   Bsus4


Verse 1
-------

Asus2     E      C#m     Bsus4
Let's get old to-gether
Asus2       E         Bsus4 B/G#
Let's be un-happy for-ever
            Asus2          E           Bsus4   C#m
Cos there's no-one else in this world
     Asus2      E          Bsus4    B/G#
That I'd rather be unhappy with


Verse 2
-------

Asus2       E               C#m     Bsus4
Let's be ex-posed and unpro-tected
Asus2           E                 Bsus4    B/G#
Let's see one a-nother when we're weak
Asus2        E                    Bsus4         C#m
Let's go our separate ways in the night like to Mars
    Asus2            E              Bsus4
But know that you're flying home to me


Pre-chorus 1
------------

/G#   Asus2                  E
I was born thinking it would all be dreaming
      C#m                     Bsus4
But I know that I wouldn't be happy that way
    Asus2                            E
You wear me out with frustration and heartache and anger
       F#                        Asus2     /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way


Chorus 1
--------

C#m       Asus2
Don't say nothing
C#m      /B   /A  E
Just sit next to  me
C#m       Asus2
Don't say nothing ssshhh
     F#      Asus2
Just be just be just be

E   Bsus4

Verse 3
-------

Asus2     E     C#m     Bsus4
Let's let go to-gether
Asus2      E          Bsus4 B/G#
Let us un-fold one an-other
    Asus2         E                  Bsus4           C#m
And watch all the little things that once drew me to you
Asus2      E         Bsus4
Eventually get on my nerves

  Asus2                             E
I wear you out with frustration and heartache and anger
       F#                        Asus2     /C
But we wait for the wave just to wash it a-way

Just sit next to  me
C#m       A
Don't say nothing ssshhh
     F#      Asus2   E
Just be just be just be

When you're sick of me every day ohh oh oh
Asus2       Bsus4            E   /F# /G /G#
When you're tired of my voice
Asus2         Bsus4     C#m
When you tell me you'll walk out that door
              F#               Asus2/A# /B /C
That's when I know that you'll stay woh oh

Asus2/A# /B /C
