NOTES - this is simple and moving song.. plenty of room for soloing on first chord sequence and on the finale..
Franks soloing on this is pretty epic.. and worthy of copying .. or just jam your heart out..
the lyrics are moving and reflect a reality which rarely comes into focus in music..
Note also that the words on the chorus are slightly different every time.
and that there is a finale section makes a real statement and is where you can
rock out solo wise..
