Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
i saw this song transcribed differently on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret, with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo, in the key of Em/G (i think that's right). both ways sound right when played along with the CD, but i like my way better.
just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays, and you'll see what i mean. sorry, i don't write tab; i play by ear... but it's really quite simple. he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there. really a pretty song. comments, suggestions ? feel free... laura [email protected] (remember this is just my personal interpretation of the song. you don't like it, go buy the sheet music. if you can find it.)

Em/addG DCG i'm tempted to ring the bell Em/addG DC/addG Cmaj7/addG D maybe they'd ask me in Em/addG DC/addG or maybe it's just as well Em/addG D to just let it be
Em/addG DCG remember the price we paid? Em/addG DC/addG Cmaj7/addG D it seemed like a lot back then Em/addG DC/addG G remember the love we made Em/addG D the day we moved in?
