Walking by Myself

Gary Moore

4.7(38)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

^ ^ Stop playing

| Turnaround would occur here

Gary repeats the lyrics "I just want, to be you lovin'" over A B chords

before he finishes "To be your lovin' man" which would be over the B chord

if the band had continued playing. Finalally he finishes with a lick in E

around the 12th fret.
