Such a beautiful song sang absolutely beautifully. I sing this song to my children as a nightly lullaby. Such a tender voice!

[lewdite]

@dovegirl96 Thank you for that…

Really nice job lewdite. I fell in love with this song when heard it in the film Stir Crazy.

[MyOpinionBrother]

Hope you get out soon from Jail, guess u shouldn't have done the crime ? We forgive u brother, great rehabilitation. Keep up the good work

Thank you for this you are amazing....

[CaptainKeithM]

@RANGERVETBRET there are only two chrods in this song.... in technical terms ...1 and 5 ...which means if its in E.....the chords are E and B ...if its in E# -sharp the chords are E# and B# : )

[CaptainKeithM]

@RANGERVETBRET the key appears to be E but he might have the capo low on the third fret which would mean the key is E# (sharp) ...but i believe its E (natural)

[WindCarried]

alright man way to go!
