My sister flew back home
yesterday from her visit here in London and it’s the first time in a week that I’ve had a chance to lift the guitar and this song came - I think my folk roots may be showing, as I’m a big folk and traditional music fan.
The noise on this is Freddie fidgeting but if it’s not that it will be planes and passing cars so I tune out. I hope it’s not too distracting
I’ve added chords and lyrics and the chords will always be suitable for beginners and easy to play as these are the only ones I can play myself 😀

on my way to you
capo second fret
intro am7, e7, am, em, am, e7, am
(am7) like a (e7) bird in the (am) sky i (em) cry, (am) wind (e7)carry me (am) home
(am7 ) the night is (e7)dark, the (am)journey (em) long
and (am) many (e7)miles have I (am) flown
(c) I’m on my (g) way, to (am7) sunnier (e7)shores
(c) I’m on my (e7) way to (am) you (e7)
(am) I push through (e7) clouds, I (f) raise my (e7)wings
(am7)I’m on my (e7) way to (am)you
(am7) will you still be (e7)there, will (am) you still (em) see
(am)all that (e7) travelled with (am) me
(am7) The road is (e7)) rough, (am) the wind is (em) strong,
and (am) i’ve been (e7) travelling all night (am) long
(c) I’m on my (g) way, to (am7) sunnier (e7) shores
(c) I’m on my (e7) way to (am) you (e7)
(am) I push through (e7)clouds, I (f) raise my (e7)wings
(am7)I’m on my (e7)way to (am)you
Bridge
(f) Through the (g)storm I’ve (c) flown so (e7) far,
(f) Every mile has brought me (e7)near,
(f) will you still (e7)be there will (c) you still (e7)hear
(f) or will it (e7) all (am)disappear
(am7)Mountains (e7) fade and (am) rivers (em)bend,
but (am) love will (e7)guide me (am) through.
(am7) although our (e7)) distance (am) keeps us (em) apart,
(am7) my heart still (e7)) beats for (am) you.
c) I’m on my (g) way, to (am7) sunnier (e7) shores

![where are you now - an original song
I am hoping to record this song in the next week or two but wanted to share it now. On the surface, it is just a love song about the disconnect within a relationship and when it finds its way onto spotify etc, perhaps that’s all that a listener will take from it. However, here I can tell you that the inspiration for this song is dementia and for those families touched by that the lyrics might resonate a little deeper.
It is dementia action week May19- 25 and, as I doubt the recorded version will be available by then, I have decided to post this now.
lyrics and melody written by Harriet Barbir May 2025
Where are You Now?
c, dm, am
you don’t know I miss you,
you just don’t understand
c, dm, am
even when i’m here beside you
even when i take your hand
f. g
it’s like a door i can’t push through
(f) to reach the other side of you (g7)
(c) where (em) are you (am) now
where can (f) i find you
where can i find you (g) (g7)
(c) where is the (em) love you’ve (am) buried
can i (f) remind you, can i remind you (g)
your eyes they look right through me
It’s like you never knew me
it’s hard to see who i adored be
disappearing right before me
(c) where (em) are you (am) now
where can (f) i find you
where can i find you (g) (g7)
- [ ] (c) where is the (em) love you’ve (am) buried
can i (f) remind you, can i remind you (g) where are you now - an original song](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qnDLZEOFECY/mqdefault.jpg)
