A Promise to Keep
Brandi Carlile
Downpour 7" Vinyl Single
I didn't include the fills, the intro and the outro, 'cause they're easy to figure
out. Just look at the tab I below. I haven't heard the actual track, just listened
to the song on YouTube, so it might differ from the original version.

And I'll try as goddamn hard as I can

The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep
C G Am G D x 4
