Thought I Died and Gone to Heaven (from the album "Waking up the Neighborhood")
---------------------------------
CAPO ON 4th FRET!
*Note that the chords below are not the actual chords, but rather their
fingerings up on the fourth fret. So, for instance, where it says to play
an Em, you are really playing an Ab-minor, but I decided to call it Em since
that is how you finger it at the 4th fret.
