Has anyone worked this one out and have some suggestions? Thanks a lot.
Cheers
What key do you play it in? D, like James Taylor's version, I assume, since you mention an F#m chord, but I just want to be sure. I'll try to slap a video of my interpretation together for you, but I want to do it in the key you do it in.
