This wonderful song is in 3/4 time.

Tune your guitar to the recording. On the CD I have, everything seems to be

a quarter-tone flat for most of the tracks on the album.

Play to the basic rhythm of each bar having 4 eighth notes followed by a

quarter. You'll obviously know the rhythm if you have heard the song

before.

Play most chords as barre chords. The A, A7 and D are in the 5th position,

until you go to the turnarounds, then you can play in the standard open

form.

Each chord name represents one bar.

INTRO :

A A A A
