Biography:
Paul Weller (born 25 May 1958) is an English singer / songwriter, leader of two successful bands: The Jam and The Style Council. In England, he is recognised as something of a national institution yet, because much of his songwriting is rooted in English culture, he has remained essentially a national rather than an international star.
Weller's eleventh studio album, Sonik Kicks, was released on 19 March 2012. The Green Songfacts reports that it was recorded in Weller’s own Black Barn Studios in Ripley

Paul Weller - Above The Clouds
Paul Weller
1992
This is based on the acoustic version which was played on Later with
Jools Holland in 2001: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzgh4JZf-R0
Towards the end of the chorus and during the Coda there's a chord I
can't quite work out, I play it as a B7 which sounds okay but Paul plays
something else. Not sure what though. F#m/B or Bsus4 (x244xx) sound okay as
well. If you can work it out let me know so I can adjust the tab.
Chords:
Emaj7 (076444) Emaj7* (xx999-11)
Amaj7 (x07654) Emaj7** (xx9897)
F#m7 (242222)
G#m7 (464444)
B7 (x2120x) or F#m/B (x242xx)
C#m (x46654)
A (577655)
B (799877)
When playing Emaj7 you'll want to hit the low E string twice before playing
it so something like this:
e-----------------4---------------------------------------------|
B-----------------4---------------------------------------------|
G-----------------4---------------------------------------------|
D-----------------6---------------------------------------------|
A-----------------7---------------------------------------------|
E-------0----0----0---------------------------------------------|
Also the last three chords in the outro goes something like this:
e------11-------7-------4---------------------------------------|
B------9--------9-------4h5p4-----------------------------------|
G------9--------8-------4---------------------------------------|
D------9--------9-------6---------------------------------------|
A-----------------------7---------------------------------------|
E-----------------------0---------------------------------------|
Intro: | Emaj7 | Amaj7 | Emaj7 | Amaj7 |

Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Verse 1: Autumn blew it's leaves at me,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Threatening winter as I walked,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Summer always goes so quick,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7
Barely stopping like my thoughts.
F#m7 (F#m7) G#m7 F#m G#m7
Chorus 1: Which dip and spin and change so fast,
F#m7 (F#m) G#m7 F#m7 B7
I have to wonder,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7
will I last?
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Verse 2: Through the windows of a train,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Emaj7* Emaj7**
I caught reflections of a paper cup,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Hanging small in a pale blue sky,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7
Never knowing which way's up.
F#m7 (F#m7) G#m7
Chorus 2: Above the clouds,
F#m7 (F#m7) G#m7
What's to be found?,
F#m7 (F#m7) G#m7 F#m7 B7
I have to wonder, ooh
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7
will I be around?
C#m F#m7
Bridge : As my anger shouts, at my own self doubt,
C#m F#m7
So a sadness creeps, into my dreams,
C#m F#m7
When you're scared of living, but afraid to die,
A B B
I get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7
Oh yeh, yeh yeh yeh.

Verse 3: It must be me that's rushing by,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Time just lingers on the wind,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7 Amaj7
Bristlin' through my open fears,
Emaj7 Amaj7 Emaj7
I wonder what it's goin' to bring.

F#m7 B7 | Emaj7 Amaj7(x2)
I catch the sail at evening's tide.

Run and hide, run and hide
