Tori Amos (born Myra Ellen Amos on 22 August 1963 in Newton, North Carolina, United States) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter.
Having already begun composing instrumental pieces on piano, Amos won a full scholarship to the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, the youngest person ever to have been admitted, at age five. She was expelled at age eleven for, in her own words, insisting on playing by ear and because of her interest in popular rock music.
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!
## Originally tabbed by: 'Tabbed' by Tim Peeters, Haarlem, the Netherlands - version 1.0 , December 8th 2002 [email protected] ## "Wednesday" from Tori Amos' "Scarlet's Walk" ## This is a transposed version of the original chords for those of us who don't play so good! ## I left in the comments about tempo and added the chords in the repeat verses ## (for those of us who don't remember so good, either!)
