Hey Kristan -
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I had a listen to this just before I fell asleep last night, so I THINK
|
|||
|
|
this represents some semblance of how the chords go. Perhaps the
|
|||
|
|
dedicated Scotsman who has posted other Proclaimers tunes has a better
|
|||
|
|
take on it. For those who aren't familiar with this tune, it's the one
|
|||
|
|
from the opening credits of the film "Benny and Joon". Really knocked
|
|||
|
|
me out of my seat when I saw the flick. This is the key the song is
|
|||
|
|
played in on the album "Sunshine on Leith", but you can always transpose
|
|||
|
|
if barring a nice fat B is a pain (e.g., E=G, A=C, B=D). Enjoy!
