SHAPE OF MY HEART (4:38)
Ten Summoners Tales (1993, 
A augmentedA & M)
Thanks to Jerome Olivier for his version of this beautiful song, from which
I based my transcription. The 9-14 and 7-13 spannings (tone sounds more
accurate to my ears) seem a bit challenging at first, but with practice
Corrections & comments are always welcomed. Hope you
all enjoy it, Gehan Cheung
