    He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
    Bbm
    I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet.

Or... you can use Am, C and G chords to play that... Anyway tell me the result in the end... really waiting

Yea i'd have to throw it up an octave to sing it. i don't know if it would sound right but i'll give it a shot.

Don't forget that the voice tember is very strong in this song...

I tried it on the piano first. That might have been what screwed me up. The whole difference in timbre.

Yap! They are right... actually, you can use capo - that makes the playing process simpler for this song

Uglywoman's picture

you sure those chords are right?
