[Gb] [Db] Alex Band is here, [Ab] senior songwriter who knocked it out of the park with his
for a band, [Bbm] The Calling when they released
this single, Wherever You Will Go, number one song of the decade in the
adult pop charts
I'm curious to see the video whether it's the one here in the LA River or the one in
Mexico let's see what we have
[D]
[A] yeah
[Bm] [G]
[D] [A]
[Bm] [G]
[D] that's here in the LA River, this song became an anthem for a lot of people
I mean it really takes [G] you back to that time period now
[D] and the back story of why that [A] song was written
[Bm] there is a back story, what's even crazier is it was written [N] now
19 years ago, I was only 16 when I wrote it
really?
yeah so, but that song in particular
came from a family member close to me
passing away and leaving behind their
their wife of 40 years or something
I had this idea in my little teenage brain
if he could sing a song
not sing, but if he could say something to her in the afterlife
that would comfort her, that actually makes it more beautiful
and [A] meanwhile it was like a teenage anthem
the marketing of it [D] was let's put a
[G] chick in a tattoo [D] of some [Bm] dude and let's have you [D] play
in the [Ab] sewer like every other band, [G] you know what [A] it works
I mean you shot up [Gbm] the charts, you did
there's a very specific reason [Bm] you're here today because you want to talk about
[G] an event, yes yes the
the oh so tragic event in Orlando
I mean there was obviously many of them but we know the big one
[N] tonight
in LA at the Whiskey there is a
event happening to a charity to
raise money for Ultimate Jam Night
which is putting on a special
event tonight for the Orlando
survivors, this is very specific
they've actually flown out some of the survivors to the show
you know there's a whole red carpet thing and then the coolest thing is
you can actually donate
via a live stream of the show
so if you go to the website
is a I don't know we gotta pull that up
we'll put it on our website
and you can find it there, now you're sitting here with a guitar
could we ask you to do something
like a Kumbaya, something like that, a little campfire song
[Db] okay sure I'll play a
I [Ab] can remember it
deal with it Troy
[Eb] [Bbm]
so [Gb]
[Ab] [Db] [Ab] lately been wondering
[Bbm] who will be [Ab] there [Ebm] to [Ab] take my
[Db] place when I'm [Ab] gone you need [Bbm] love
to light [Ebm] the shadows [Ab] on [Db] your
face [Ab] if the great waves shall [Bbm] fall
and [Db] fall upon us all
[Ab] well I hope there's someone [Bbm] out there
who can [Gb] bring [Db] me back to you
if I [Ab] could then I [Bbm] would
I'd go [Gb] wherever you will [Db] go
way up [Ab] high or down [Bbm] low
I'd go [Db] wherever you [C] will [Bbm] go
[Gb]
run away with my [Ab] heart
[Fm]
run away with my [Bbm] hope
[Gb]
run away [Ab] with my love love
[F]
a [Db] gift for Orlando, the ultimate jam now
