CHORUS

FLUTE SOLO

REFRAIN CHORUS

(Note: Ordinarily, only the top four strings are played throughout the song. The 
5th and 6th strings, A and E, are not played and left silent. And, in all chord 
forms throughout the song, the D string is played, but not fretted, leaving the 
open D string to pedal throughout the song. On the Bb for example, the first 
finger is placed on the first fret of the high E string, the little finger on the 
third fret of the B string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the G 
string. The D is left open. For the C chord that follows, just move the entire 
chord form up two frets, which should leave the index finger on the third fret. 
The Dm9 is played like an Am, but the middle finger is lifted to leave an open G.)
