Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: FANLIGHT FANNY
These are the guitar chords plucked straight from the MIDI rendition I referred to above. You may may need to use a bit of licence as to the exact timing of the chords, but they should all be there. You should be able to play along with the MIDI to your heart's content - the MIDI has a couple of extra verses and middle eight once you get through all the lyrics. Regards, John

Let's see if this formats correctly?
