Here's the story of this transcription:
Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so i wrote them out and
At the same time i wrote down a couple of the chords. then john
(jhayman@k12s.phast.uma**.edu) saw it and made the necessary
Additions and corrections.
For a while we were playing emaj7 instead of e in the first line,
(b) sit by my window and (emaj7) look outside, but the current
Thought is that the e is correct.
John wrote: "in hind sight and sound, emaj7 is wrong and e is right.
Although he's singing a db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a
Dave edmund's "monkey beat" e." (i play that e at fret 4 (476454))
