If You Want To Get Free
Waterdeep
To Chase Away the Birds

Preview (partial song; no chords displayed)

Open standard-tuned six-string acoustic. Strummed in 6/8 time; key of
D major. This is actually not the band, it's just Don solo with his
guitar. I think this a great message for both believers and
non-believers.
