OK, I recently learned Drake Bell's "I found a Way", and couldn't find a tab that
or was clear
on what chords to use. I really like this song, so I had to create a proper tab. This
translate
to acoustic and electric and is based off a video lesson by Drake himself. Electric is
down
strums, i'll explain the acoustic strum pattern at the bottom of the tab.

Chorus
E2 F# A Am

E2 F# A
Over your shoulder you know that, I told you

Bridge
The bridge isn't necessary in the song, but it wouldn't be 100% without it. For acoustic,
you should strum up-down, then mute. Electric, strum down twice. For additional
style, continue the strumming while muting.
E (mute) E (mute)
No one cares. What you give.
E (mute)
You know you gotta lie how you wanna live.
E (mute) E (mute)
When it's time. To be free.
E (mute)
You gotta be what you wanna be.
Pre-Chorus
C#m F# A Am
If you open up your mind, see what's inside.
Chorus
E2 F# A Am
It's gonna take some time, to realize.
E2 F# A Am
But if you look inside, I'm sure you'll find.
E2 F# A
Over your shoulder you know that, I told you
Cont. A F#
I'll always be pick-in' you up when your down.
Cont. F# A Am
So just turn around.
End on E2
Acoustic strum pattern.
Firstly, i highly recommend finding your own pattern, or attepting to copy Drakes by
whatching a video of him play it. Mainly because it is hard to explain strumming in text.
The verse strumming is all just down strokes. Then when he reaches the
pre-chorus it changes to down, down up, up down up. He does this pattern once for each
chord. Next, at the part of chorus with the lines "i told you i'll always be picking
up-", and the A and F# he does the strum pattern twice per chord. Then back to once for the
ending A, Am chords.
