[Verse 1]
A
And even when you lost your
         E                 C#m
hair to shame and so much gum
A
I stood beside you then and
        E                 C#m
 there until the cut was done
A
And even when I lost myself
     E                 C#m
in all of those tall trees
A
You took me down, you held me up
     E                 A
You patched my bloody knees

[Verse 2]
A
And then when we were older,
  E                 C#m
 there were miles between
   A
I conjured you an apparition
  E                   C#m
To show you what we’d seen
    A
The sun the earth the wind
                E
the rain and holding out
       C#m
 for change
     A
And all the snow you couldn't
             E            C#m
let go you dancеd atop a train

I’ll go wherever you go

I’ll go wherever you go

I’ll go wherever you ever you

[Verse 3]
D
Madeleine who lost the earth
A              E
Made it out by noon
D
The sun had shined
the earth as well
A                      E
Her eyes were two half moons
     D
And even when we lost
               A           E
ourselves to something in between
    D
The words we shared are all
                 A
still there to show us
        E
where we’d been

I’ll go wherever you go

I’ll go wherever you go

Madeleine by Good Kid is in the key of A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 5 chords: A, C#m, E, D and F#m.

Listen for D – A – E – D (IV – I – V – IV in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
