"I Wanna Be Where You Are"

     Written by: Leon Ware and Arthur "T-Boy" Ross 1972
As Performed by: Micheal Jackson
          Album: Got To Be There
      Tabbed by: E. Jay Apaga

Thanks for checking out the tab. Chording is as complicated as I get as I
play mostly acoustic guitar and like to get the base of the songs down. I 
hope it starts you off in the right place so you can go elsewhere with it 
especially the bridges into the chorus. I know something more interesting or 
accurate can go there cest la vie. Enjoy

Sorry, didn't tab out the opening harpsicord.

Intro
Bm G 

Bm                          G
Can it be I stayed away too long
A                                D
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
Bm                              G
It's not my thing trying to get back
A                                       D
But this time let me tell you where I'm at
Bm                Bm/A                   Bm/G
You don't have to worry 'cause I'm coming
Bm                Bm/A                   Bm/G
Back to where I should have always stayed
Bm                Bm/A                   Bm/G
And now I've heard the maybe to your story
Em                             A
And it's enough love for me to stay


Bm                          G
Can it be I stayed away too long
A                                D
Did I leave your mind when I was gone
Bm                              G
It's not my thing trying to get back
A                                       D
But this time let me tell you where I'm at



Chorus:
                  Bm               E
I wanna, wanna be where you are oh oh
   Em                  A
Anywhere you are oh oh oh
                  Bm               E
I wanna, wanna be where you are oh oh
     Em                  A
Everywhere you are oh oh oh



Bridge:

Bm                Bm/A                   Bm/G
Please don't close the door to our future
Bm                Bm/A                   Bm/G
There's so many things we haven't tried
Bm                Bm/A                   Bm/G
I could love you better than I used to
Em                                 A
And give you all the love I have inside


Verse (No Vocals) x 1
at this point everything is taken a half step up from original key. 
you can do this or just be lazy like me and keep it in the same key 

Chorus:

I wanna, wanna be where you are
Any, any, anywhere you are
I wanna, wanna be where you are
I gotta be where you are
