However, when I play it, it seems to me that some of the C's ought to be C#'s, but not all of them. I leave that up to you. There is a pick-up note, an eighth note on low E. After that, the chords I play are these: (each line of type equals one measure of music) A part: Em D Em D Em Em D G D (repeat A part) B part Em G D Em (or C) B Em (or C) Em or C G D G D Em (repeat B part) Measure 12, the one with the B in it, has a D# as its second note. That's why it needs a B, not the usual Bm. Playing the C chords in the second part adds sweetness and sparkle. Try it. Let me know how this works for you. |
