Biography:
Beth Nielsen Chapman (born on 11 September 1958 in Harlingen, Texas, USA) is an American singer-songwriter.
In 1976, Chapman played with a rock and pop group called "Harmony" in Montgomery, Alabama, effectively replacing Tommy Shaw who had just left to join Styx. She played acoustic guitar and piano as well as providing vocals for the group in a locally-popular bowling alley bar called Kegler's Kove and has returned to play in the area on an infrequent basis ever since.

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!
The most difficult transcription I've attempted.
But it's worth the effort, and always a privilege to listen to
this beautiful composition over and over again!
The original recording is a piano piece and is strewn with
lots of beautiful slash chords.
I think many of the chords below may be interchangeable for others,
but I'm hopeful you’ll agree this works as a solo guitar piece!!
From Beth's 2005 'Look' album.
