krewllobster: Sounds pretty good with a capo on the third fret. The sus4's seem to make more sense that way. I couldn't get them to sound right without the capo.

What are your thoughts on the chorus? I played with it for a few minutes and I came up with:

I feel so [F]near to the howling of the [Bb]winds
I feel so [F]near to the crashing of the [Bb]waves
I feel so [Dm]near to the [Csus4]flowers in the [Bb]fields
Feel so near [F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]

When y'all talk about C tuning are you talking about open C tuning? I can't think of how to make that work.
