Biografía:
Red Box is a British pop group formed in the 1980s. The group was originally a five-piece band, and released its debut single "Chenko" on Cherry Red Records in 1983. Following this, the band slimmed down to a duo, Simon Toulson-Clarke and Julian Close, and took on a more synthpop direction. Their second single "Saskatchewan" (a cover of the Buffy Sainte-Marie song) brought them to the attention of WEA, who signed the duo.
In 1985 they enjoyed their first UK hit single

Optional chords:
The A6, Amaj7 are suggested by the backing, as are the E6
and the Dmaj7, and I think they sound fuller for a solo performer.
You could, if you prefer, just play them as major chords of
A, E and D instead, as Simon Toulson-Clarke does.
