Key: (chord shapes in the key of G)
From: * (JayA466068) This is kind of a mix between the studio version and the Windham Hill in Concert video performance. Both performances are cool and aren't much different, but you may notice some phrasing discrepancies. This is basically how I play it. BTW, this is easier than "Bricklayer", but more of a pain to get in tune properly. It's worth it though :-) Tuning (low to high) : C# A C# G# A E, then capo on 2nd fret ( keep in mind, with the capo on II, a notated '5' actually indicates the 7th fret, 11 is really a 13,.... )
