_________________________ / Amy Winehouse / / Love Is a Losing Game / / Back to Black / /________________________/ This beautiful, beautiful song is actually not that complicated. It is built up by three verses. Each verse is introduced by the Fm6(b5), then it runs for these 16 bars. So this is played 3 times, and the song is through.
