• Song:

    Walk On By

  • Artist:

    Bryan Adams

  • Album:

    11 Repack

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---------:



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

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