As with all classic songs, there’s the original and there are covers.
For this arrangement I’ve tried to take the best parts of the original and a glorious cover by Jackson Browne and Jennifer Warnes.
So we have the key of the latter and we have the string countermelody of the former. I’ve used the chords of the cover version - the original chords had lots of minor sevenths that seemed to conceal some of the innocence and joy of the captivating melody.
Perfect for a concert encore, as you send the audience home to bed, and perfect for just three guitars or a much larger ensemble.
