I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through
You’re a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you’re happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You’ll make it back somehow

I’m not sure that everything is correct so you have to check before you put it on the site…
Regards Wessel
Wessel’s post is brilliant. I updated it below:
– tweaked about 5% of the chords
– changed / improved about 2%
– added a few more comments
– removed melody notes as I find I’m able to improv those
– appended LLB with some tweaks
Let me know if anything’s wrong!
