Curtis Mayfield - Here But I'm Gone
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vZzFwR4rVE

The whole song is in these two chords:
Eb B9 B9(alt)
e|-------9-|
B|-4-----7-|
G|-3--6--8-|
D|-5--4--9-|
A|-6--6----|
E|----7----|

if you find the B9 chord difficult to grab,

you could leave out the B (7th fret on the E-string).

you could also play the alternative form, but I think the first form

is better with the lower tones. Lyrics below. Good luck!
CHORUS
How did I get so far gone

Where do I belong

And where in the world did I ever go wrong

If I took the time to replace

What my mind erased

I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone
VERSE 1
Porched up in a rocking-chair

With my feet all bare

Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap

Live an adolescent mind

never do take the time

Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept
- play CHORUS -
VERSE 2
Mama told me I was best

Argue and punch in my chest

Son now be strong, let me take you home

I'd see in her eyes so sincere

Screaming, what got me here

Standing in the world and with my mind all blown
