HI Rick the cords to Sleep Walk
Itro are C, Am, F, to G
the cords to the verseare C, Am, Fm, G
But not in the middle where the harmonics are.the Fm,turns back to F major here.

Thankyou.
Have a nice Sunday.

The turnaround chords at the end of the bridge are G to Bb.

By coincidence, I recently had a request for Sleepwalk and was trying to remember how it went. Isn't there a second part (chorus)? I believe it goes F Fmin C Eb C F Fmin C Eb G7 but I'm not at my guitar and not 100% positive.

Thanks to all. I have ended up with lots of input on Sleepwalk by email too.

Also,email Don E. Curtis at Scotty's Music,Don did Sleepwalk on his current CD "etched in STEEL" and he did an awesome job on that tune.

I know this is not the original way it was played, but this is what we do at that turnaround at the end of the bridge; everyone seems to agree it sounds pretty hip:

You can strum any of these chords, if you're so inclined. They're biiiig!

In the verses try playing a Dmin7b5 instead of F (C, Am, Dm7b5, G7) however an F in the bass sounds good with this. Also try an altered dominant passing chord at the very end of the bridge before starting the verse again (between the G7 and C) such as G7#5. Good luck, Don<p ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b">[This message was edited by Don McClellan on 11-26-99]</FONT></P>

I always end the bridge with G Bb G.

C, Am9, F, G7, C, Am9, F, G7,
Chorus C, Am, Fm, G7, C, Am, Fm, G7.
C, Am, Fm, G7, C, Am, Dm7, G7, C,
Am, Fm,
G7, C, Am, Fm, G7, C, Am, Fm, G7, C, F, C, C7, F,
Fm, C, F, C, C7, F, Fm, G7, Ab7.

BTW I took the chord changes from the sheet music I have,
I have the Tab for E7 six string Sleepwalk.
