This has a blues feel to it. Smile

From a good band originally from North Carolina.

Don't Walk Away- Firehouse

Girl, you and I've been together
For as long as I can remember
We've come too far to throw it all away
But you tell me that you're leavin'
Oh and I just can't believe it
You know I'd do anything if only you would stay

So if you love me, then don't leave me
Don't throw it all away
Baby, I'm beggin' you, please

Chorus:
Don't walk away
(Well) Don't leave and break my heart
(Well) It hurts because I love you and it's tearin' me apart
Never too late to say we're sorry and try another way
I'm down on my knees, I need you baby
Don't walk away

Now we've both done things that we regret
We could learn to forgive and forget
We'll make it better, give it another try
Baby, don't give up, don't give in
Walkin' away won't solve anything
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do to keep you satisfied

So if you love me, then don't leave me
Don't throw it all away
Baby, I'm beggin' you please

Robin Trower - Day of the Eagle

I saw a light just up ahead
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed.
I'm not alone - but then I am ....
Some people seem to think I'm superman
But I watch for the love.
I'm living in the day of the eagle,
the eagle not the dove

It's like a weight that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground.
It's in my mind, it's in my soul.
It's telling me the things I can't be told
It says, "Watch for the love ...
Living in the day of the eagle ... eagle, not the dove."

Another day, another night.
I want to love, they want to fight.
I need the time, I've got to be alone.
I've got to think it over on my own.
But I'll watch for the love ...
Living in the day of the eagle ... eagle, not the dove.

This is kind of in that crossover area between blues and rock, but I have to post it. This is one of those songs I spent years trying to figure out how to play right. I love finding vids that show the fingering and picking. I wish there were youtube videos like this then, things would've been alot easier. The song sounds great with just guitar and bass.
