Keeping You — Tanya Donelly
Chords and lyrics for Keeping You by Tanya Donelly (key of G).
Verse 1
Every chord lasts one measure. You can play C instead of Am7,
but I think Am7 sounds slightly better during the verses. There
may be room for some improvement in the Am7 measures, up to and
including swapping it out for a better chord or series of chords
within that measure (|C |Am7 C/B | maybe?), but I'll leave
that to those with better ears than than mine.
