By My Side, INXS, from the album "X"
Here's my take on this song. Any corrections or improvements are
welcomed and encouraged.
Intro: G G D Em D Em A (repeat twice)
intro pseudo tab:
G G D Em D Em A
-3--3--2--0--------------|| -0--0--3--0--3--0--2-----|| -0--0--2--0--2--0--2-----||(repeat twice) -------------0--2--2-----|| -------------------------|| -------------------------||

I like to play the stanzas going up and down on the chords:
Bm D
-------2-----------2------ -----3---3-------3---3---- ---4-------4---2-------2-- -4-----------0------------ -------------------------- --------------------------

Then strum the chords when at the chorus.
Bm D Bm D
In the dark of night, those small hours,
Em F# Bm
Uncertain and anxious, I need to call you
(repeat intro once)
Bm D Bm D
Room's full of strangers, some call me friend
Em F# Bm
But I wish you were so close to me
D Bm D
In the dark of night, those small hours
Em F#m Bm
I drift away when I'm with you
D G
In the dark of night, (by my side)
D G
In the dark of night, (by my side)
Bm G A
I wish you were, I wish you were
Bm D Bm D
Here comes the clown, his face is a wall
Em F# Bm
No window, no air at all
D Bm D
In the dark of night, these faces they haunt me
Em F# Bm
But I wish you were so close to me
A D G
In the dark of night, (by my side)
D G
In the dark of night, (by my side)
Bm G A
I wish you were, I wish you were
D G
In the dark of night, (by my side)
D G
In the dark of night, (by my side)
Bm G A
I wish you were, I wish you were
Bm D Bm D
In the dark of night, those faces they haunt me

Yes I wish you were by my side
