---- This is one of my most favorite choruses from Savatage. The guitar and
bass do a walking pattern while the Bb chord is held out. The notes in
( ) are single notes not chords! Jam on!
Bb (A) (G) (F) Eb (D) (Eb)
Lord bring on the night.
Bb (A) (G) (A) (G) F
Wrap it all a---round me.
Bb (A) (G) (F) Eb (D) (Eb)
Let it hold me tight.
Bb (A) (G) (A) (G) F
Soak up all that I bleed.
Bb Dm Eb F
And I'll fly a----way.
Bb Dm Eb F
Yeah I'll fly a----way.
Bb Dm Eb
Lord I'll fly a----way.
F
Watch me!
