Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again Wandering Child Chords

(ver. 2)
Andrew Lloyd Webber
This is a corrected version of my previous attempt at this song.

Gm               Eb
You were once my one companion
Cm                D
You were all that mattered
Gm              Fm
You were once a friend and father
Eb         Cm        D
   Then my world was shattered

G
Wishing you were somehow here again
Am/G                     D/G
Wishing you were somehow near
C            D/C    Bm7       Em
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Bm7         Em       D
Somehow you would be here

G
Wishing I could hear your voice again
Am/G                 D/G
Knowing that I never would
C           D/C       Bm7        Em
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
Bm7              Em        D
    All that you dreamed I could

Gm                Eb
Passing bells and sculpted angels,
Gm           D
Cold and monumental
Gm               Fm
Seem for you the wrong companion,
         Gm       D
You were warm and gentle

G G Am/G D

C        D/C
Too many years
Bm7           Em
Fighting back tears
Bm7               Em        D
    Why can't the past just die!

Eb
Wishing you were somehow here again
Cm/Bb                   F7
Knowing we must say goodbye

Eb        F/Eb
Try to forgive
Dm7         Gm
Teach me to live
Dm7         Gm          F7
Give me the strength to try!

        Bb
No more memories
F/Bb    Eb/Bb
No more silent tears
        Bb      F/Bb      Eb/Bb  F7/Bb
No more gazing across the wasted years

        Eb/Bb  F/Bb Bb
Help me say    good bye
        Eb/Bb  F/Bb Bb
Help me say    good bye!

Bb     F     Eb     F
Bb     F     Bb

[[[Christine is on top when there are two lines]]]

Bb        F         Eb       F
Wandering child; so lost, so helpless,

Bb           F  Bb
Yearning for my guidance.

B        F#      E         FF         
Angel or father? Friend or phantom?

B         F#    B
Who is it there staring?
                Have you forgotten your 

B          F#          E       F#
Angel, oh, speak. What endless longings
Angel?

B       F#   B
Echo in this whisper?

G#m                         E
Too long you've wandered in winter

C#m                   D#7
Far from my fathering gaze.

G#m                   E
Wildly my mind beats against you
                             You resist

         C#m    D#7
Yet my   soul obeys.
You your soul obeys

C#       G#    F#    G#
Angel of Music I   denied you,
Angel of Music you denied me,


C#           G#   C#
turning from true beauty
turning from true beauty.

C#       G#    F#       G#
Angel of Music my pro---tect-or,
Angel of Music I  won't shun you,
C#           G#      C#
come to me   strange Angel
come to your strange Angel

C#m
I am your Angel of Music; come to me Angel of Music...
