One Step Up

Arpeggio

(note: The % means repeat). You are basically picking the notes of each chord but adding a G note at the end of each measure. Indeed, I am playing a low G.

[Bb] Woke up this morning my house was cold
[F] Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
[Gm7] Went out and hopped in my old Ford
[F] Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
[Bb] We've given each other some hard lessons lately
[F] But we ain't learnin'
[Gm7] We're the same sad [F] story that's a [Bb] fact
[Bb] One step [Gm7] up and two steps [F] back

[Bb] Bird on a wire outside my motel room
[F] But he ain't singin'
[Gm7] Girl in white outside a church in June
[F] But the church bells they ain't ringing
[Bb] Sittin' here in this bar tonight
[F] But all I'm thinkin' is
[Gm7] I'm the same old [F] story same old [Bb] act
[Bb] One step [Gm7] up and two steps [F] back

[Bb] It's the same thing night on night
[F] Who's wrong baby who's right
[Gm7] Another fight and I slam the door on
[F] Another battle in our dirty little war
[Bb] When I look at myself I don't see
[F] The man I wanted to be
[Gm7] Somewhere along the [F] line I slipped off [Bb] track
[Bb] I'm movin' one step [Gm7] up and two steps [F] back

[Bb] There's a girl across the bar
[F] I get the message she's sendin'
[Gm7] Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
[F] And me well honey I'm pretending
[Bb] Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
[F] The music was never-ending
[Gm7] We danced as the [F] evening sky faded to [Bb] black
[Bb] One step [Gm7] up and two steps [F] back
