Robyn Raymond Hitchcock (born 3rd March 1953) is an English singer-songwriter and psych folk guitarist. While primarily a vocalist and guitarist, he also plays harmonica, piano, and bass guitar. Many of Hitchcock's album covers bear his paintings or drawings, and his albums' liner notes sometimes include a printed short story. His live concerts usually include a considerable amount of story-telling, imaginative and surreal ad-libbed monologues in his lyrical style.
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!
To play to the original recording you need to capo on the 3rd fret, or transpose to F.
However... this arrangement is in D and based on his contemporary acoustic performances.
He rarely plays Heaven rarely now, and when he does so, he plays in D, i.e. no capo as below.
Whatever - a great, great song!
