Burning bright and yet sinking low

Album: I'll Always Be There (1993)
Songwriters: Roch Voisine, James Campbell
This song uses a walking bass finger picking pattern throughout. In the chorus the FF starts
walking down from the 4th string, it should be clear from the recording. The chords listed
might not be exact but they are playable, most important is to get the bass note right.
