Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Just dicovered this on the new album. Also read JM said its his favorite song he's ever written. I like it too. Reminds me of early Paul Simon. Got the chords of watching him live on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLDn7AHiga4
It sounds ok like this, but the bridge may be wonky.
[Capo 2] altho you can play w/out. JM doesnt always use one w this song.

I like climbing the mountain I'm climbing back in the bed I love making breakfast For someone instead of me Taking autumn walks in central park They were made for two Afternoon naps have never felt so crappy What's missing in my life is you
So i'll leave it in your hands now To come through I'll leave it in your hands now To come through I'll leave it in your hands now To come through I'm gonna leave it in your hands now To come through
