"A Thousand Years"
from the album Burn and Shiver (2002)
by Azure Ray (Maria Taylor and Orenda Fink)
*First off, I must note that the high E string is NEVER played in this song at all.
*No capo is necessary.
*A fairly nice ballad with very simplistic picking that can be improvised or mimicked by listening to the
album.
