Chords with lyrics
Chord Sequences: [Note: Experiment with minor 11 (no 5th) chords rather than simple minor or minor 7ths in the below sequence. Take the minor 7 flat 6th with pinch of salt..but it would be easy to do in dadgad (which I tried as well as the proper tuning). Also could try (rather than m7b6 chord in sequence 2), an Esus9 chord..I am not too sure of all the subtle tonalities here but its essentiallyE minorEm for a few bars. ] Sequence 1: Now you say you love me
