Bryan Adams — Walk On By 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:

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

Don't look over your shoulder — keep your head up high
