(Remember) Walking in the Sand George Morton One of the best singles of the sixties, no, one of the best *ever*, and I never really knew what it was about until I wrote it out just now. Poor Mary.

Notes: Chord voicings for the [Eb/A7 A7 Dm] part: Eb/A7 A7 Dm |-----5------5------5----| |-----5------5------6----| |-----6------6------7----| |-----5------5------7----| |-----8------7------5----| |-----5------5------5----| Actually, I don't know what "Eb/A7" is, but I had to call it something. The Aerosmith version is OK, I guess, but this is one of those songs that really doesn't work in the male voice. Maybe Liv Tyler should do a cover of it with the Wonders.
