Submitted by Ian C.T. vom Saal

I've transcribed this to work with her CD version - which was in fact done 
on
piano, not guitar, so the chords might be a bit different than expected - 
I've
also done some intro lines that haven't been done before - these tend to 
help
you get a better feel for the song. Use a capo on the 3rd for the original 
key
of [Eb]. I play it open (without a capo) to fit my voice better [key of C].
Let me know if you'd like a complete version with the entire lyrics.
Always . . . Ian C.T. vom Saal
