A couple of notes with our arrangement: The 'C/B' chord can also be played as an 'Em7' chord. The last 2 lines of the verses as Randy wrote are a 'Dm', not an 'F'. We've just gotten used to, and prefer an 'F' chord. Randy ends the song on a '5' chord ('G' in the key of 'C') and very effectively. We've chosen to resolve it and credit to my musical partner Eric Bower for the 'F Dm Am' ending, |
