Album: Escape, 1981
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. The tab I have below is not
perfect, but it should sound pretty good. Give it a try !

PHASE I
Intro. (While piano and bass plays)
Just a small town girl Livin' in a lonely world

Double choking
A augmentedA 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
