Here is a beautiful new song from Sarah's album Shine On - released today: May 5, 2014.
When I play this on the acoustic guitar, I like to play an Fmaj7 instead of an F in the 
verses - I think it sounds pretty that way. I also like how the Em7 sounds.  
This set of chords is not perfect - I'm still working out the kinks - but they really 
are good enough to play along with the song and sound good.  Any and all suggestions are welcome!

Here is a beautiful new song from Sarah's album Shine On - released today: May 5, 2014.

When I play this on the acoustic guitar, I like to play an Fmaj7 instead of an F in the

This set of chords is not perfect - I'm still working out the kinks - but they really

are good enough to play along with the song and sound good. Any and all suggestions are welcome!
