Main Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~
A C#m D ??????????????????????????? I put down the guitar and
fell asleep here.
Good melody isn't it? I bet us guitarists could learn a thing or two
about melodic chromatics and key changes from this one. Not a cliche
anywhere. Anyone care to finish it off?
By the way I can't remember if I told you what the song was,
It's by Beverly Craven and it's called Promise me.
Cheers,
Big Toe.
