Rising In Love chords by Roth David Lee

Rising in Love


Words and music by David Roth

    This is my first posting here, so constructive criticism is
welcome.  This is one of my favorite songs, one of the best wedding
songs I've ever heard (I used it at my wedding).  I heard this on
the collection _On_A_Winter's_Night_ , and it's credits say it's
originally from the album _May_The_Light_Of_Love_ by David Roth.


    A few notes:
    	1.  I've labelled one chord D/F#*, which is most likely the
wrong name, but I've drawn the chord below.  If anyone knows a good
name for this chord, I'm interested in correcting this.  Similarly,
the C and D diminished chords near the end of the song may not be the
appropriate names for this particular key, but that's what I call
them.
	2.  I must confess, I often don't play the key change at the

end of the bridge -- it's too easy to stay in D.  When I'm feeling
lazy I just play an Asus4 followed by an A instead of the B chord,
and continue on in the key of D.
	3.  Some of the chords I drew below use the thumb -- I hope

this doesn't offend any purists.  I started using my thumb too many
years ago to stop now.

			Enjoy,
