A SONG FOR SLEEPING BY STP, FROM THE ALBUM "SHAIN-GRA-LA-DE-DA"
4/4 time in key of major (Goes through mixolydian and minor)
Tempo is moderato
Yet another great little (if relatively unknown) acoustic number from STP
This is solely my own interpretation. I sat down at the piano, played along
with the album and figured out all the chords and then translated them to a
guitar format.
