Thanks Paula! I play mostly by ear...I have several versions of the song I like which helps me fix the melody in my head...and I work out songs in a standard DAD tuning..using those chords.  When I have the melody, I then just retune up or down 1/2 or whole steps using the same chord shapes until I can comfortably sing it.  I plan to put out some videos breaking down some of the songs (on a YouTube Channel & blog), make a lyric and chord sheet available and demonstrate my strum or picking patterns etc.  This will be one of the first I do, it's pretty straight forward...as well as a contemporary song, Time After Time.

I appreciate that several of you have recently found this song though it was put up several weeks ago. Sometimes the vids get buried among so many submissions.  Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
