Surrounded
Delta Rae
NOTES: The first verse and first chorus are supported by piano only. 
The guitar chords approximate the sound. They might not be "right," 
but they're close.
 The chorus has lots of time signature changes which I've tried to 
notate. There are also chord embellishments in the chorus which I've left out
in order to focus on timing.
