In the 'chorus' bit of stratosphere blues he slides a root 3rd Bb to C and then down to F, on the 6th and 5th

strings.

In this first live video of the song, https://youtu.be/-nOq2St4I5U?si=Z2EMmiju3UjovmwF,

he's playing a 12 string in some alternate tuning for stratospere blues, but that's kinda lame

for trying to play the whole song one one guitar.... soooo.....

Someone made a nice tab of the intro to 'i believe in you,' shows the arpeggiated figure,

I'm just calling it 'G'.

Intro

| Cmb6 | C6 | (x2)

[Stratosphere Blues]

Cm(b6) C6

Every time I see the sun,

Cmb6 C

It’s like my life has just begun, like my life has just begun.

Cmb6 C6

Every time I hear your voice,

Cmb6 C6

It leaves me with no other choice, leaves me with no other choice.

Cmb6 C6

And if you leave me for the moon,

Cmb6 C

Another day is coming soon, another day is coming soon.

When the wind comes sailing through,

And the sky comes down so blue,

Will your will to love me still re

mai

Cmb6 C6

Every time I see the sun,

Cmb6 C

It’s like my life has just begun, like my life has just begun.

Cmb6 C6

Every time I hear your voice,

Cmb6 C6

It leaves me with no other choice, leaves me with no other choice.

Verse 1

Couldn’t help but wonder why you threw yourself away,

Come on out from under, just take it day by day.

It&

rsquo;s

true,

I believe in

you.

I took a walk to wander and then wandered on a thought,

It’s kind of hard to get through all the things we ain’t been taught.

It&

rsquo;s

true,

But I believe in

you.

ooh, o

oh,

I believe in

you.

Chorus

After all the

tears and dedic

ation,

Sure I could

cut you a little

slack.

Long as you

live, I’m sorry

to tell you,

Never get that

monkey off your b

ack.

Interlude

Verse 2

I never even listened when you said you couldn’t breathe,

How the water glistens when you’re sinking underneath.

’s

true,

But I’m si

nking too.

I could be the anchor when you’re drifiting out to sea,

And I’d take your hand if you’d just hold it out for me.

’s

true,

I’m reaching ou

t for you.

ooh, o

oh,

And I believe in

you.

Chorus

After all the

years of medic

ation,

Feels good to

get your life on

track.

Long as you

live I’m sor

ry to tell you,

You’ll never get

that monkey off

your back.

Never get that

monkey off your b

ack.
