• Song:

    Midnight Sun

  • Artist:

    Duran Duran

  • Album:

    Medazzaland

I am using an alternate version for the translation - the one with the extended ending
the demo tracks.  I think it follows the Medazzaland one pretty close...

The (Am) after the (Dm) is heard sometimes in the chorus.  Well, at least the bass on
track I listen to goes to an 'A'.  You can play this "implied" Am or just stay on Dm,
way sounds good just a matter of preference...

Notice sometimes the Dm becomes a "D" - (i.e. in the parts like "Don't know you at all"
at the end.  DD does this quite a bit (going from a minor to a major of the same root)
it gets confusing when transcribing b/c you are used to the minor and then they throw in 
different.  So note the Dm vs. D parts, subtle but gives it it's cool 'DD'
(I think this was a Warren thing...)
