If you have anything interesting (positive or negative) to say, please mail me. You'll piss off fewer people and, besides, I don't have the time to follow this group with it's zillions of posts. "They Dance Alone (Cueco solo)" - STING from "...Nothing Like The ============================== ----- Sun" and "Fields of Gold" This is fairly simple except for two chords. (All others are detailed at the bottom anyway.) Faug4maj7 133200 Eadd6 022120 I think that they're correctly named and placed in the song but mail me if you know better.
