My Travelling Star Chords

Song - My Travelling Star Artist – James Taylor Album – October Road   This is a great song incorporating typical James  Taylor style syncopation and chord sequences.   The timing is a little tricky so I use a simple picking pattern behind the vocal to keep things smooth.   Intro and break
