CAN`T FIND MY WAY HOME By Steve Winwood From Blind Faith

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 cold then add in whatever
flourishes and riffs that 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.

h = hammer on, p = pull off

Basic picking pattern:

Use the same syncopation throughout.

=========================================================

D7sus G
Come down off your throne
Gm/Bb D
And leave your body alone
F G D
Somebody must change

You are the reason
I`ve been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key

G A Asus D Dsus D
Well I`m near the end and I just ain`t got the time
Em G Fm Em D
And I`m wasted and I can`t find my way home

Come down own your own
And leave your money at home <- lyrics on album jacket but...
...And leave your body alone
is sung on the album.
Somebody must change

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

Repeat the following using the chords from the first verse,
ending on a D major:

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

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.
