Don't Stop Believin' Tabs

(ver. 1)
Journey
Journey is one of the great Rock band from the 80’s that blended Rock Ballads which became the foundation for the future bands.  This song Don’t Stop Believing is a beautiful and inspirational song.  It’s not as perfect, but it should sound okay.

                       Double choking

 A singer in a Smokey room 
 The smell of wine and cheap perfume
 For a smile they can share the night
 It goes on and on and on and on

 Strangers                Waiting
 Shadows                  searching in the night
 Street lights people     living just to find emotion
