Well I know you're not here But at least you don't feel it anymore Well I know you're not here But at least you don't fear it anymore Slightly strange chords: A- 002200 Fe 044200 Notes: I don't think the ends of the chorus are right, but it sounds okay that way. Playable without the capo, as I find it easier to sing that way. Drop me a note if you use this, or are at all interested. murray
