This is a nice, easy song to play.There were a few parts I changed
a little bit.In the chorus I added the broken chords (it sounded
better when playing without the cd), and I shortened the outro
because it repeated a lot.All I did was write each part once or
twice instead of however many times it was on the cd.I also added
the last few notes to give a little bit of finality, it kinda fades
out on the cd. This song sounds best played on an acoustic and
without a pick.
