24/10/2001 - 22:53:34This is an awesome songe! When I was 21 my mother still made my bed?was that too long? but then she was a carpenter! I think the "hole in the ground" bit has a little chord change behind it. Same chord probably...maybe an inversion..probably a piano thang...anyone have any ideas?
