IF YOU EVER GET LONELY By Love & Theft Originally by John Waite
The intro riff is just a D chord with a hammer on with your pinky on the 3rd fret E string. Listen to the song for the timing. I fell in love with this song when I heard John Waite play it. It's going to be a HUGE hit for Love & Theft, I would have loved to see it be a hit for John. Enjoy. Feel free to send in any corrections. I am pretty sure it is correct.
VERSE 1 D(riff) Thanks for calling it's so good to hear your voice G But you keep breaking up in all the static and the noise BmAD But I keep listening 'cause I never had a chance when it came to you D(riff) I'd love to see you if you're ever out this way G You sound happy guess things are working out okay BmAD And I'm getting better at putting one foot in front of the other
PRE-CHORUS BmG And I know that California ain't to blame BmG An I know there's a ton of people in LA
