The Songs of Danny Galway (2013)
(McAloon)
From: "Crimson/Red"
Interesting chords and voicings, open chords and complex textures. Here?s
my reading of this beautiful song.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS
There are different ways of playing this chord I call ?Fsus2/A?. I think I
hear different voicings in verse and chorus (as pointed out below). But it
is of course not necessary to play these variations, I just think it sounds
nice. You may as well just take the first voicing and use it throughout the
song. One can even use it to substitute the ?Fmaj7(add9)? in the chorus.
They?re all really close.

A wizard and his baby grand

Like a [C]stone into a [Cmaj7]well
