Here`s the story of this transcription:
Someone (off list) emailed me for the lyrics so I wrote them out and
at the same time I wrote down a couple of the chords. Then John
(jhayman@k12s.phast.umass.edu) saw it and made the necessary
additions and corrections.
For a while we were playing Emaj7 instead of E in the first line,
(B) Sit by my window and (Emaj7) look outside, but the current
thought is that the E is correct.
John wrote: In hind sight and sound, Emaj7 is wrong and E is right.
Although he`s singing a Db, the rhythm guitar is clearly playing a
Dave Edmund`s monkey beat E. (I play that E at fret 4 (476454))
