Guitar Chords for Wherever You Will Go by The Calling

Take notice of the capo! If you know the chord shapes pretty well, then you shouldn’t have a problem changing shapes as you play the chords as shown below. The best way to play this is to keep most of your fingers in the same place, except for the lowest note, which is what’s constantly changing. So keep your 1st finger on the 1st fret of the B string for the entire time, and focus your energy on where the other fingers should go.

[Verse 1]
 
C          G                Am            F                 C
  So lately you're wondering who will be there to take my place
             G                Am            F                C
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on your face
      G                Am       F            C
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
        G                   Am             F
Then between the sand and stone could you make it on your own?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C           G            Am            F              C
  If I could then I would, I'll go wherever you will go
           G           Am            F              C
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
(C)      G             Am        F                 C
And maybe I'll find out a way to make it back someday
           G            Am           F                C
To want you to guide you through the darkest of your days
      G                Am       F            C
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
        G                    Am               F
Then I hope there's someone out there who can bring me back to you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C           G            Am            F              C
  If I could then I would, I'll go wherever you will go
           G           Am            F             Am
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
 
 
[Bridge]
 
(Am)   F                G
       Run away with my heart
Em               Am
Run away with my hope
F                 G        Em
Run away with my love
 
 
[Verse 3] (Play intro until second F)
 
C           G
  I know now just quite how
Am            F                    C
  My life and love might still go on
             G
In your heart, in your mind
Am                F              C
  I'll stay with you for all of time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(C)       G            Am            F              C
If I could then I would, I'll go wherever you will go
           G           Am            F              C
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
 
           G          Am               F              C
If I could turn back time, I'll go wherever you will go
           G         Am               F              C
If I could make you mine, I'll go wherever you will goooooooo
 
G      Am              F              C       G      Am    F
ooooo      I'll go wherever you will goooooooooooooo
