Changed the key so its possible for an average guy to hit the notes while adding chord voicings and changes which do justice to Olivia's version vs ELO which is all that seems to be posted currently. Capo 2 to play along with her recording or if your voice is sufficiently high.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	advanced
