A great song by the great Canadian Bryan Adams, from his new album 11.
First tune your guitar down a half step to match the recording
Most of the Song is just the same pattern repeated over and over again:
D G C G
e:-----------------:-----------------:
b:-----3-------3---:-----3------3----:
g:---2-------0---0-:---0------0---0--:
d:-0---------------:-----------------:
a:-----------------:-3---------------:
e:--------3--------:-------3---------:
But then there's a bridge
Am Am C
e:-------------------:----------------------------:
b:-------1--------1--:-------1----------1-------1-:
g:---2---------2-----:----2---------0---------0---:
d:-----2---------2---:------2---------2-----2-----:
a:-0--------0--------:--0------2--3-------3-------:
e:-------------------:----------------------------:
And after the bridge the main riff changes a bit:
D G C G
e:-----------------:-----------------:
b:-----3-----------:-----3------3----:
g:---2-------------:---0------0---0--:
d:-0---------------:-----------------:
a:-----------------:-3---------------:
e:--------3--------:-------3---------:
Here are some lyrics to sing along to:
D G C G
I heard that you're leavin - this sleepy little town
D G C G
The bright lights must have caught your eye cuz you ain't hangin' round
D G C G
Ya know people been talkin' - they say you're makin' a mistake
D G C G
Gotta get on that greyhound and forget about what they say
D G C G D G C G
Just walk on by walk on by
D G C G
Don't look over your shoulder - keep your head up high
D G C G
Just walk on by

Guess you got you're mind made up - gotta get out while you can

Those streets can be like a battlefield - when it's hard to make it thru...
