Glimmer by Aqualung
Capo 5'th Fret
For the verses in this song you have to listen to the strum pattern because it's a bit
at first, but after a listen or two you can get it.  I'm also not completely sure on the
of the C/B chord there, I just said C/B because it's got a C shaped chord except the 
note is B.
