"The original appears to be in key of Bf; if you love bar chords
try this with bflat, F7, cminor instead. I have written it in the
key of A augmentedA for sanity.
Enya does this with a simple pick: T234 T3 (or some variation thereof)
VOCAL VERSION:
(it's simple, but it works) -just pick the chords; this song is meant to
show off vocal improvisation, and the very nice slides up to the higher
notes. And don't spare the sentimentality; Remember valentine's day
isn;t that far away!
Time sig: feels like a 3/4 to me:

vocal note: keep up the momentum, building on the last
4 lines; don't insert a rest between lines.
