Hello. Can anyone provide me with the key signature and the first chord for Tom Morrells version of "Maybe you'll be there" on the Relaxin' cd? I'm having a dickens of a time with it. Thank you...

Tuning is key. E13 has it there.

Beautiful song. His choice of `voicings sounds so smooth as usual.

Had a look at the first few bars.

very complex choices.

sounds like first chord

CM13 at the 10th fret.

lo - hi

C, D, A, B - he intentionally played that quartal harmony sound. and uses it a lot.

then second chord is a CM7 with 5th on top on the 8th fret but he plays single notes E, F, G so I add it on the G.

then C6 with no 3rd.

C, G, A, once again he uses that voicing a lot to get away from the normal C6th sound this is 2 frets down at the 8th fret.

then he does a single note C-D-E

then BbM7 with a 5th on top fret 6

then A7 with a 5th on top. fret 5

I'd need to analyse it but sounds like C is the possible Key.

Interesting I wonder if he ever credited the original????

As I noticed he just plays it in a different key. I guess the insert of the CD did. not sure.

Its called "Maybe You'll Be There" the original by Rube Bloom in 1947 and also on his CD
