This is one of the last songs written by John Denver before his death in 1997. It was never recorded,
only preformed unfinished at a live show in 1995. This is my version of his song, I have missed out a
lot of Denver's guitar fills but I have tabbed out a basic pattern. I admit, its nothing like the way he
plays it.
I hope you enjoy this long lost song:
Tuning: Standard
