Ok... So there are crappy versions of this song on here and there's one REALLY good (yet
complicated!) version as well! Well, I've decided to combine them and make this into
a little easier to play when going solo!
 
Remember: THIS IS AN ACOUSTIC, UNPLUGGED VERSION OF THE SONG! This is NOT a tab of
how the song is played!
 
I've tabbed this out to be picked with your fingers.
 
CAPO ON 2ND FRET!!!! <----- DON'T MISS THIS! IT'S IMPORTANT TO STAY IN KEY WITH THE SONG!
 
Faithfully - Journey
 
Intro:
 
For this riff, it's best when you play it this way: Use your middle, ring, and pinky
to play the D, G, and B strings IN THAT ORDER! That means middle finger goes on D, ring
goes on G, and pinky alternates the notes on B. That leaves your index finger to play
bass notes on the low E string when needed!

Lyrics:
 
Verse 1:
 
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire
 
Chorus:
 
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
Its been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what its supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
 
Verse 2:
 
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you
 
Chorus:
 
And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours...faithfully
 
Outro:
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Faithfully, Im still yours
Im forever yours
Ever yours...faithfully

TWO THINGS! 1. The chord progression for the first part of the chorus (E, G#, B) should actually be written E, G#m, B! The tabs are correct, but I labeled it wrong! 2. The way I tabbed the first part of the chorus out, it makes it look like you only play that E, G#m, B progression twice. That is incorrect. You actually play it three times! I should've either tabbed out the progression once and then said to repeat three times or just written it out three times! Wasn't really thinking... But, yeah! You get the idea! Thanks for checking out this unplugged version! And don't forget to rate and comment!
