Date: August 4, 2000 2:16 PM From: Mike Pratt On Village Green Preservation Society, I believe that I can make a correction: CHORUS: C G F C riff 1 Preserving the old ways from being abused C G F *E* Protecting the new ways for me and for you F C What more can we do? CHORUS: D A G D riff 2 Preserving the old ways from being abused D A G *F#* Protecting the new ways for me and for you G D What more can we do? The chords may not appear in the correct part of the line in my email, but the order is right. Basically I think it's an 'E' on 'you', or F# following the key change??
