**A special thanks to John, Patty's
Keyboard player for sending this along:)**
standard tuning - no capo
There is a guitar figure that
starts the song that runs through the
entire song that is basically
a g major 7 add 13 (G,B,D,F#,A,,E). So
you have all of those notes
that are sustaining with those c's and a-'s
that give is a dissonant sound.
So, if these changes don't sound
exactly like what you are hearing
on the CD, that is why. Plus there is
a keyboard pad that is sustaining
throughout the song that is adding
some nice textures too.
( I have to say that being the keyboard
player).
