Another one of Keith's walking bass lines. This one is rooted on a G chord and walks down the low E
string. The pinky and ring finger don't get much of a break in this song, so plant them at the 3rd
frets of the high E and B and learn to voice the chords with them in place. It takes a bit of
practice but it's sweet when you get it worked out.
The bass line in the verses is on Low E frets 3,1,0 and in the chorus it changes to 3,2,0...all but
the last phrase that reverts to the previous progression. Watch out for that.
On the Am7, G6th, Cadd9 walk up at the last part of the 3rd pre chorus, stay off the open E and walk
up the A string 0,2,3.
Standard tuning, Capo 1st fret.
Chords:
G 320033
G maj7 220033
G 7th 120033
G 6th 020033
Cadd9 X32033
D XX0232
Am X03320
Am7 X03010

I've loved you since the very first day

Now it's climbing with a bullet.

The travelling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you

The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to,

That I could live this life, just going through the motions

It's never gonna touch the sky, without you.

Without you, baby, baby, baby without you

Without you.
