** CAPO 6 or to taste **
Hymn for the Missing
From: Until We Have Faces
By:
This is my version of "Hymn for the Missing". Capoing the song up higher makes it
much lighter sounding but you can keep the same vocals because of the transposition.
I really did this mostly because I hate the C7 chord and I wanted an easier way to
play it, so I based it off a transposition of the first tab out here. Some of the
chords, especially the C's and G's can be swapped with the other voicing in the
song: just play them back and forth. During the verses play around with the Cmaj7's,
C's, G6's, and G's to get a sound you like, same thing with Em7, E, Dsus4, and D in
the interludes.
The interlude is a little complicated-looking how I have it written out. It's
basically Em, D, Em, D, C, and each receive four beats (the middle Em has an
additional measure), but as you're strumming them, add in the Dsus4 and Em7 for part
of your strumming until it sounds right. I have the measures marked out on the first
interlude. Let the last strum of the Cmaj7 ring into the chorus and don't start
strumming again till the Em.
VERSE 1:
We tried to walk together
But the night was growing dark
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone
Sometimes I hear you calling
From some lost and distant shore
I hear you crying softly before the way it was before
INTERLUDE:

CHORUS:
Where are you now?
Are you lost?
Will I find you again?
Are you alone?
Are you afraid?
Are you searching for me?
Why did you go I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you
Will you wait, will you wake
Will I see you again?
Verse 2
You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wonders lost and wounded
This heart that I mis - placed
INTERLUDE:
CHORUS:
Where are you now?
Are you lost?
Will I find you again?
Are you alone?
Are you afraid?
Are you searching for me?
Why did you go I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you
Will you wait, will you wake
Will I see you again?
