Nothing recommends it more than the fact that it is difficult to play. I tried to find some easier chords that approximated Mike's chords, and though this arrangement doesn't always match the recording --some of the octaves are off, for instance-- it sounds close enough. For accuracy, defer to Mike's. 6 5 4 3 2 1 Tune down one step to Eb.Ab.Db.Gb.Bb.Eb Chords G6 -0X2433 D/F# -200230 Bm7 -7x7777 A -x02220 A7sus4 -002030 Em7 -o22030 Em9 -x75777 A6 -x02222 Gmaj7 -320002 Asus2 -x02200 A9sus4 -x05430 A7sus2 -x05450 G6 x8 D/F# Bm7 G6 Who does not adore the sound A G6 Of music in the names of towns?
