TITLE: Sparks
MUSIC AND LYRICS: Reuben Hudson
ORIGINAL ARTISTS: Reuben Hudson
TRANSCRIPTION: Andrew Marsden
So, you know Reuben Hudson... The adorable Kiwi who played Balthazar in Nothing Much to Do...
This is one of his songs.
I'd recommend a capo, but it's up to you. (If you need it sans capo, just transpose +2.
Obviously best played on piano, but I'm sure you can do something to work it with guitar or uke.
