The melody of Why Walk When You Can Fly by Mary Chapin Carpenter runs 156 notes across 34 bars, 4:02 long in B at 100 beats per minute. The tab sits low on the neck, mostly under the fourth fret, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
