NOTES:
This is another gorgeous song that you might want to play for a loved one at
an appropriate moment. The song seems to be in Low Tune i.e. a semi-tone lower
than standard (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) so, if you want to play along you're going
to have to re-tune or transpose. Chords below are for standard tuning.

Wordlessly away until I slip into shadow?
