Replace the c9 for a c7 -mikerussell | 9/3/2002 | -mikerussell | 9/3/2002 | Chords are OK, but the printed structure is hard to follow. I'd suggest a re-do in the structure simmiliar to version 2; keeping all the words per verse in the same stanz text. Nice to see this though. Roger's been gone a while, but he still pops up on reruns of the Johnny Carson Show on cable. -eric_steinmetz | 12/11/2002 |
