Bryan Adams – Walk On By (Guitar Tab)

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:-------------------:----------------------------:

g:---2---------2-----:----2---------0---------0---:
d:-----2---------2---:------2---------2-----2-----:

And after the bridge the main riff changes a bit: D G C G

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 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 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 Am C 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... 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 D G C G D G C G Just walk on by walk on by D G C G You're a little bit lonely you're a little bit shy D G C G Just walk on by 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 D G C G D G C G Just walk on by walk on by D G C G You're a little bit lonely you're a little bit shy D G C G Just walk on by
