Can't Find My Way Home (Steve Winwood)
============================================================ The original recording uses a second overdubbed guitar track to fill in various rhythms and riffs thus making playing CFMWH solo a daunting but not impossible task. The basic picking pattern below forms the foundation for everything else. Get the basic picking pattern down then add in whatever flourishes and riffs you can squeeze in. Play with a pronounced syncopation in the rhythm. Emphasize the first bass note in each measure, picking the second bass note of each measure lightly, if at all. ============================================================ Basic picking pattern: 2/4 1 : . : . 2 : . : .

You are the reason I've been waiting all these years Somebody holds the key I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time Oh and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home But I can't find my way home Still I can't find my way home And I aint done nothing wrong But I can't find my way home JB adds: Sometimes I feel like I just woke up so far from home Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a bird up in the sky Sometimes I just feel so far from home ============================================================ Notes on chords: The opening chord is a D7sus missing the fifth. This resolves naturally into the following G chord. The chord in the third measure is an inversion of a Gm with the flatted third in the bass. The two suspended chords in the chorus are very important as they lead the progression into the chords that follow. ============================================================
