Porcupine Pie-Neil Diamond (Acoustic)
Studio album: Moods, 1972
Live album: Hot August Night, 1972
This is a silly, er, simple song. One could just
play a D throughout, but I'm almost certain I hear a sort
of cadence (a bit trillish) played in parts between D & Dsus4
(just adding pinky finger to the 'e' string in the 3rd fret
and off again). Skip it or noodle it, either way...
mind your denim! ;-)
