	LEADING ME BACK TO YOU
	by: Joe Sample & Michael Franks (1988)
	from the Joe Sample album "Spellbound"

Fm7 / Fm/Bb / | Ebma7(?) / Cm7 (?) / | (2X)

Fm9           Fm9/Bb  Ebma7
    I guess I flew too high
Fm9         Fm9/Bb           Cm7 Bbm7 A7 (or Eb7)
      Icarus falling from the sky
Abma7           Abm-ma7 (G7+5)    Cm7
     But in the dense rain forest heat
                   F7                Fm7
Somehow I landed on my feet
               Fm7/Bb      Cm7 / / Gm7 | Cm7 / Cm7 Bm7
With the will to sur - vive.

Bbm7                      Bbm7b5 (Eb7-9)
     And in the heart of darkness
Abm7                      Abm9 (Db7-9 or Db9)
Without a chance of rescue
(G7sus)
I never quit, I just refused
              Cma7 / / / | / / Dm7 Em7
I thought of you

Fm7                Fm7/Bb
Somehow I know I'd find you
(Abma7/Bb)(Bb13-9)  Ebma7         G7+5
Following my        heart's com - pass
         Abma7
And your love
              Am7-5      D7(?-9)Gma7
Your love was leading me back to you.

Fm7                    Fm7/Bb
Now the ordeal is over
                  ?              Ebma7  ?
Now I can feel your heartbeat
               Abma7
And your love
                                    D7         Gma7
Your love is leading me back to you.


Fm7 / Fm/Bb / | Ebma7(?) / Cm7(?) / | (2X)

Fm9               Fm9/Bb Ebma7
Daylight be - gan to show
Fm9            Fm9/Bb              Cm7 / / / | Bbm7 / / A7
      A jungle painted by Rou - sseau
Abma7                  Abm-ma7        Cm7
          I walked a - round in circles lost
                F7                    Fm7
Above the spider-monkeys laughed
           Fm7/Bb   Cm7 / / Gm7 | Cm7 / Cm7 Bm7|
At my failure be - low.

Bbm7                                       Bbm7b5
     And in the heart of darkness
Abm7                      Abm9
Without a chance of rescue
?
I never quit, I just refused
              Cma7 / / / | / / Dm7 Em7
I thought of you

Fm7                           Fm7/Bb
Somehow I know I'd find you
                     Ebma7
Following my heart's compass
               Abma7
And your love
                                        D7        Gma7
Your love was leading me back to you.

Fm7                      Fm7/Bb
Now the ordeal is over
                                Ebma7
Now I can feel your heartbeat
               Abma7
And your love
                                    D7         Gma7
Your love is leading me back to you.

Fm7 / Fm/Bb / | Ebma7 / Cm7 / | (repeat and fade)
