Here's the chords for an old song from that wierd turtle album. If you

have anything interesting (positive or negative) to say, please mail

me. You'll piss off fewer people and, besides, I don't have the time

to follow this group with it's zillions of posts.

"They Dance Alone (Cueco solo)" - STING from "...Nothing Like The

============================== ----- Sun"

and "Fields of Gold"

This is fairly simple except for two chords.

(All others are detailed at the bottom anyway.)

Faug4maj7 133200

Eadd6 022120

I think that they're correctly named and placed in the song but mail

me if you know better. All comments, criticisms and corrections would

be appreciated.

(I wouldn't mind knowing what the song is about either. Sorry if

that's a little ignorant......)
