KEEPING THE FAITH - Billy Joel

Transcribed by Dan Morris ([email protected])
For most of the verse, the guitar is playing D with a hammer-on
to G every measure :

|--7-x-7-x-x-7-x-x-7h8--7-x-x-|
|--7-x-7-x-x-7-x-x-7----7-x-x-|

--- verse ---
[D]
If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
[D]
If you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
[G]
Oh, then you should have known me much better
[G]
Cause my past is something that never
[D]
Got in my way oh no
[D]
Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
[D]
And I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
[G]
Cause I never felt the desire 'til their music set me on fire
--- chorus ---
[A6] [G]
And then I was saved, yeah
[A6]
that's why I'm keeping the faith
[G]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[D]
Keeping the faith
--- verse ---
We wore matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades
I took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans
And his Old Spice after shave
Combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore
--- chorus ---
A permanent wave yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
--- bridge ---
[A] [G] [D]
You can get just so much from a good thing
[A] [G] [D]
You can linger too long in your dreams
[A] [G] [D]
Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
[Em7]
Cause the good old days weren't always good
[A7]
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
--- verse ---
Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights nut it taught me how to lose O.K.
I heard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyway
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl when I made it with a red-haired girl
--- chorus ---
In a Chevrolet
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
--- solo ---
[A][G][D]
[A][G][D]
[A][G][D]
[Em7]
You know the good old days weren't always good
[A7]
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
--- last verse ---
[D]
Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
[G]
I'm going to listen to my 45's, ain't it wonderful to be alive
[A6] [G]
When the rock 'n' roll plays Yeah
[A6] [G]
When the memory stays Yeah
[A6]
I'm keeping the faith
[G]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[D]
Keeping the faith...
