And The Dance Goes On
God's Own Medicine


I combined the recorded and early live versions into a single interpretation of this
song. I personally think it's the best of both worlds. This is in a weird D MajorD major/minor
scale (the closest I could find is "D Manavi"), but most of it is D MajorD major.

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB e)
