Now the obvious problem with playing this song on the guitar is that it was
written for the piano--so while I'm aware that this album is played with the
guitar tuned down half a step, I'm writing this one out as if it weren't, to
allow piano players to just look at the chords and play as written without
transcribing in their heads.
So guitar players who recognize that these chords would sound better
transcribed up a half step and played with a guitar tuned down a half step,
feel free. But not here and now.

This song is fun because you can take these chords and play 'em with piano
or synth harp or synth strings or fuzzy guitar arpeggios or whatever.
As always, I'm fully welcome to comments, questions, problems, bashes,
whatever. Criticism keeps folks humble and healthy. Keep it real with the
big guy.
