Words and music by Larry Burnett (from the album "FireFall") (Note: This song is played in a modal D tuning. Both the high and low E strings are down to D. The Dm9 is played like an Am, with the middle finger of the left hand picked up, the G string open. G is a different form also, because of the modal tuning. Play G by the fifth fret on both the low D and A strings.)
