Heaven is 10 zillion light years away
One of my joy is when I can figure out chords of tunes. I used to figure all sorts of songs chords so that I can play guitar and sing. I have one whole notebook full of chords. I was able to figure out one of my favorite song by Stevie Wonder today. It was a bit tricky because he tune the guitar half step down in the beginning. Enjoy
