Can't Stop Lovin' You
Van Halen (Balance)
Transcribed by: Bob Brockman (brockman@udavxb.oca.udayton.edu)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
This song is actually in A, but I first scoped in out in G and it's
(I think) easier to play that way (for me, anyhow) with more open
strings. Eddie obviously doesn't share my limitations...
There are several one-off sections in this song, most of which lead
into the chorus or solo sections; I've isolated them and labeled them
"pre-chorus" or whatever.

This is the first part of "Can't Stop Loving You" by Van Halen from
what I can figure out. It isn't much but when it's repeated
with a little improvising it covers most of the song. Enjoy.

Here is a cool Van Halen song. All I know is the main
riff and the solo which is surprisingly easy for an
Eddie solo. Anyways here is Cant stop loving you.
Verse:
---0------------------|-----------------------|
---3---3---2---0---2--|---10---10^---9--10--10|
---2---2---2---2---2--|-----------------------|
---2---2---2---2---2--|-----------------------|
---0------------------|-----------------------|
----------------------|-----------------------|
Also on the verse a second guitarist strums the second fret
on the top E string(thickest), or you can use your thumb
as Eddie does.
Solo:
------------------------------------------|----------
---8---7\5----5---5\8----8/10---10\8\7\5--|----------

This is almost the whole solo. I changed it to Eddie's
live version. So it is a bit easier than the Cd.
It'll do anyways. Good Luck
