this is from the Journey Greatest Hits compilation released by Columbia
this tune originally appeared on the 1981 album Escape
key = E major
the bass guitar provides a little Lydian love with the A major chord
listen to how the chord changes occur 'outside' where we may normally expect them
(the and of 4)
this is often called anticipation and was quite common with the 90's era grunge bands
this is a good example of why notation is so greatly superior to TAB
verse
Emaj B7/ C#m/ Amaj / Emaj/
count
1 + 2 + 3 +4 + /1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + / 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + /1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + /
hear how the E hangs over to restart the progression
2nd time around the C#m is replaced with G#m but rhythmically still the same bag
Chorus
is straighter with the time/changes
A / A / E / E / A/ A / E / E / A / A / E / E / A / A / B E / B E A /
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + /1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + /
I believe that's pretty much it, don't stop to you nail this great pop tune.
You will be full of Glee when you get it
