Dont Stop Believing by Journey From: Glen C. Polito Email: pyzon_2000@hotmail.com Subject: Don't Stop Believing by Journey Album: Escape, 1981 Journey is one of the great Rock band from the 80's that blended Rock Ballads, which became the foundation for the future bands. This song "Don't Stop Believing" is a beautiful and inspirational song. The tab I have below is not perfect, but it should sound pretty good. Give it a try ! Transcribed by Glen C. Polito PHASE I Intro. (While piano and bass plays) Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world Just a city boy Born and raised in South Detroit E||---|-----|-----|------|| B||------|-----|-----|------|| G||------|-----|-----|------|| D||------|-----|-----|------|| A||------|-----|-----|------|| E||------|-----|-----|------|| Harmonic x2 (She) He took the midnight train goin any E||------|-----|-----|------|| B||------|-----|-----|------|| G||------|-----|-----|------|| D||------|-----|-----|------|| A||------|-----|-----|------|| E||------|-----|-----|------|| Where E||---|-----|-----|------|| B||------|-----|-----|------|| G||------|-----|-----|------|| D||------|-----|-----|------|| A||------|-----|-----|------|| E||------|-----|-----|------|| Harmonic x2 Mute (fade in) ( repeat with alternate picking ) E||----------------------|-----------------------| B||-----1716------/-/-/--|-/-/-/--/-/-/----------| G||--------1816---/-/--/-|-/-/-/--/-/-/----------| D||----------------------|-----------------------| A||----------------------|-----------------------| E||----------------------|-----------------------| E||--------------------19|-}---------------------| B||--1716----1716----1919|-}---------------------| G||-16---1816----1816----|-----------------------| D||----------------------|-----------------------| A||----------------------|-----------------------| E||----------------------|-----------------------| Double choking A singer in a Smokey room The smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on Strangers Waiting Shadows searching in the night Street lights people living just to find emotion E||----------------------|-----------------------| B||--7----5--------------|--7-----9--------------| G||---8----6-------------|---8-----9-------------| D||----------------------|-----------------------| A||----0-0--0-0-0-0------|----0-0---0-0-0-0------| E||----------------------|-----------------------| p.m...... p.m.. up and down the boulevard their E||----------------------|-----------------------| B||--7----5--------------|--7-----9--------------| G||---8----4-------------|---8-----9-------------| D||----------------------|-----------------------| A||----0-0--0-0-0-0------|----0-0---0-0-0-0------| E||----------------------|-----------------------| p.m...... p.m..
