There is some lead stuff played on top of the riff through the verse, but it's heavy on effects, so we opted to leave it out. As a clue I think it involves slow bends on the G and D strings at the 5th or 7th positions. If you play this along to the CD you will be a tone flat, so either put a capo on the second fret (and shift all the numbers up 2) or tune up a tone - if you're playing with a band you don't need to worry. And that's about if for Run to You. ------------------=============================================------- ~From: [email protected] Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams The verses are just D A D A ... as many as needed with the change occurring on every second bar. There is an additional two bars of D at the start as well. The way to play it is something like this: D. . . . . . . . D. . . . . . . . |-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------| |-3-----3---------|-----------------||-3-----3---------|-------------3---| |-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-----||-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---| |-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---| |-----------------|-------------0---||-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------| A. . . . . . . . |-----------------|-----------------|| |-----------------|-----------------|| repeat last 4 bars throughout |-2-----2---------|-------------2---|| verses. |-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---|| |-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|| |-----------------|-----------------|| The dots show the beat. Use moderate amounts of overdrive, and mute the 2's with your palm to get the distinctive percussive sound. 0 The Chorus chords are |Bm|A|D|G|Bm|A|D|G|Bm|A| (I use B instead of Bm) use standard open A,D, and G and a barred A shape for B. The keyboard riff is sort of an arpegiated D and A ie. D A |-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------| |---3-----3-----3-|-----3-----------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0----2---| |-----2-----2-----|-2-----2---2---2-|---2-----2-----3-|-----2------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----2-----2-----|-2-----2----2---2-| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| This sounds a bit messy with overdrive, so play it clean, or (even easier) just play the melody part (which is mainly what you hear on the CD anyway) e|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------| b|-----------------|-----------------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2----| For the key change after the second chorus, the chords are: |F|Bb|C|Bb|F|Bb|C|C| again use the barred A shape for Bb and C.
