Anyway have the strumming pattern for this old 80's tune? I have the chords, but have a hard time figuring out the strum patttern.
Mucho thanks!
"All the world's indeed a stage, and we are mearly players, performers and portrayers, each another's audience, outside the guilded cage" - now was that Rush or Shakesphere?
On the original recording, there are a couple of guitars going on at once and it's hard to recreate them both, so I just settle for a:
1(D) + 2(D) + 3 +(U) 4(D) +(U)
And I think it works fine. Might be too plain for some folks...
Hope this helps.
Peace
Hey Dave .... thanks! I will give it a shot ... There are two guitars going at it .. one on open tuning and the other with a capo on the 2nd (at least that is what I read somewhere)
Again thanks!
Have a great day.

Can you write down the chords for those of us who don't know them.
Thanks.
Here you go... I copied and pasted from another website .. I hope I captured all of the credits for whose work this is...
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
The sound of the breath fades with the light
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
I think about the loveless fascination
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Under the Milky Way tonight
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Lower the curtain down all right
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
I've got no time for private consultation
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Under the Milky Way tonight
G Fmaj7
Wish I knew what you were looking for
G Fmaj7
Might have known what you would find
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
And it's something quite peculiar
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Something shimmering and white
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
That leads you here despite your destination
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Under the Milky Way tonight
G Fmaj7
Wish I knew what you were looking for
G Fmaj7
Might have known what you would find
G Fmaj7
Wish I knew what you were looking for
G Fmaj7
Might have known what you would find
(bitchin' synth bagpipe solo)

Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
And it's something quite peculiar
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Something shimmering and white
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
That leads you here despite your destination
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Under the Milky Way tonight
G Fmaj7
Wish I knew what you were looking for

Might have known what you would find

Wish I knew what you were looking for

Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G
Under the Milky Way tonight (repeat)
Now the chords. There are two guitars. One plays these chords in
open position, and the shapes are as such:
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G C
E-0-----3--------0-----3-----0--
B-1-----3--------1-----3-----1--
G-2-----2--------2-----0-----0--
D-2-----2--------3-----0-----2--
A-0-----0--------------2-----3--
E----------------------3--------
The other guitar is capoed up on the 5th fret, and the chord forms
are these:
Am Am7sus4 Fmaj7 G C
E-0-----0--------0-----0-----3--
B-0-----3--------0-----3-----3--
G-0-----2--------0-----2-----0--
D-2-----0--------2-----0-----0--
A-2-----2--------3-----------2--
E-0-----0--------------------3--
If you plan on playing this with only one guitar, I strongly
recommend using the second set of chords, as the high capoed notes
ring out very nicely and sound more like the whole song in general.
