One of the gratest growing up songs ever written.
+1
On the Fmaj7 chord, Tom also fingers the high E at the third fret (G). It rings out a bit truer.

We never Do get more Spokespeople then we Need. I’m almost most certain by the moment that the Blustery Loudmouths we hear and see are screaming from their Minds Alone. And we have also, thank God ,had Prophets. As most of us know by now ,a Prophet Isn’t someone who speaks and talks and roars like he or she is Divinity in full Light and All-Knowing. She, or He is a Spokesperson for what is true,and real,and that Means something. That will wake you up, Listen and maybe start you walking in a different direction ! And after the human cry from a broken heart or ripped open Soul, ;Music, with its many many Muses over Time continues to move until it breaks down and away the hard granite and frozen blocks of ice melting our stubborn resolves and pre-judgments!
Whoever you are “ RockinRonD, and Wherever you Are I appreciate and agree with your assessment !
