WALK AWAY
James Gang
Joe Walsh

My notes:

I've always played this song in my band in "G".   Joe Walsh has played this song
in all kinds of keys, from live to studio versions, and different bands he's
performed it with.

I went searching for a James Gang CD with Walk Away on it.  At first I thought I
was out of tune, so out comes my strobe tuner and now in tune I find that the
James Gang version was recorded in G# (or Ab, which every your prefer,.. haha).

Now for the fun.  There is a LOT of muted struming in this.  I'm sure if you're
familiar with the song, you know what I mean in the beginning.  I'll do my best
to tab this as accurate as I can for you.


INTRO:
                                    V-Lots of muting strumming here!

                                           Muted Strum here too!!!

Where the "S" is above, mute the strings distinctively with your right hand to
stop the sound (listen to the song!).

The parts above are more or less played with the verse parts.

The fill go something like this over the intro:

                                         Takin' my time, etc. (vocal)

NOTES:  ~~~  vibrato!!  Bend the string at the 11th fret to equal the note at
the 13th fret; then while holding that note, play the E string at 11th fret;
play the bent note again, slide it back to the normal 11th position note and
then play the 9th fret note.  It's like a double bend....

  Bend this up to 8th note.  Do some picking as you SLOWLY
  bring this note back to a natural 6th position
