    Stranger Into Starman

  • Artist:

    Aimee Mann

  • Album:

    @#%&*! Smilers (Deluxe)

This an arrangement for the piano, which actually drives the song. I think it's
pretty accurate, save a few dissonances which can only be added on a piano. That 
said, you can play the following chords capoed on the 6th, 1st, or figure out a 
cool open tuning to do this. The chords line up pretty well with the words. Thanks!
