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.)
