Hey guys.

Just decided to take the day off and have some fun here as well as catch up on a few chores that have been on hold for a while.

But let me start with the most recent and address JJ's chord matter since he doesn't know and I won't keep him guessing.

From the "Dream Street Rose" songbook for piano and guitar (3rd fret) the piano chord is "Am7-5" and the guitar chord is "F#m7-5."
So for the guitar it would be like an Am with either the little finger or thumb covering the low E string on the second fret.
Summing up, the B string is covered on the first fret, the low E, D and G string covered on the second fret.
That's the "And since I" part. The "Don't know" part is a B7 (piano, D7) and the "Let me guess" part ends with an Em (Gm piano).

So JJ, now you're back "On the High Seas."

I'll bring along the appropriate songbooks with me when I come to Ontario for the month of Sept. and hopefully we'll get together for a "scanning party."

Cheers,

RJ.
