Now Run to You: (see note on key at the end)

==========

The distinctive riff through the verse is:

||-----------------|-----------------||

||-----------------|-----------------|| with plenty of reverb (and

||-----------------|-----------------|| probably other effects, but

||-----0-----0-----|-----0-----0-----|| I ain't got any, so I don't

||---2-----2---2---|---2-----4---4---|| know what!)

||-0-----0-------0-|-3-----5-------5-||

The transition into the chorus is |C|C|D|D| with appropriate strumming

The chorus chords are ||Em G D| A || "" "" ""

(this repeats until it finally finishes on the D)

The lead bit in the middle of the song is:

||------------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|-----||

||-9/10-9-----|-----|-7/8-7-----|-----|-5/6-5-----|-----|-7/8-7-----|-----||

||--------9---|-----|-------7---|-----|-------5---|-----|-------7---|-----||

||----------9-|-----|---------7-|-----|---------5-|-----|---------7-|-----||

||------------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|-----||

||------------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|-----|-----------|-----||

played through twice.

and the chords after this are the chorus chords (I suspect that this

bit uses a chorus pedal of some sort - but I don't have one, so I

don't know).

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.

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.

That's about all for Summer of '69
