Walk On By
Bryan Adams
Text File
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---------:

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

I've heard bad things about the city and i'm told that they're true
D G C G
Better watch out for those guys out there they're gonna hit on you
D G C G
So don't talk to no strangers - no it ain't your style
D G C G
Don't give up when the chips are down - just turn around and smile

You're old enough to know why - you're old enough to know why
D G C G
Now you're standing at the station - got a ticket in your hand
D G C G
Guess you got you're mind made up - gotta get out while you can
D G C G
Don't say I never told ya - now the rest is up to you
D G C G
Those streets can be like a battlefield - when it's hard to make it thru...
