Chords

(Hensley/Byron) Tabbed by Alex Volperts aka Quizzus [Intro] Keyboards arranged for guitar (I use very slightly distorted sound with high settings of compressor and chorus and fast phasing to acheive some similarity with Hammomd sound): Guitar I - the following is played 6 times (this is notated below as one round). For the first two rounds only Guitar I plays the following pattern:
   F                         C                         F

[Verse] Clean sound with slight reverberation: Cm - VIII Fm - VIII A# - VI - arpegios There I was on a July morning looking for love. With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun. At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home. With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.

La la la laaaa [Verse/Refrain] I was looking for love in the strangest places. There wasn't a stone that I left unturned. I must have tried more than a thousand faces, but not one was aware of the fire that burned In my heart, in my mind, in my soul. In my heart, in my mind, in my soul. [Keyboards solo] I did not tab this for guitar...I do not tab solos at all :) Guitar part is based on strumming of Cm - VIII, Fm - VIII and A# - VI

Refrain and verse one more time: There I was on a July morning - I was looking for love. With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun. At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home. With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own. With the day came the resolution I'll be looking for you. [Solos and outro] Mad Manfred Mann's solo and Mick wah-wah guitar frenziness are accompanied with this guitar line. Drive, chorus.
