Inspired by a Ken Russell's 1968 biographical film,

Fenby strived to transcribe Delius's latter works, by the blind,
paralysed, composer, who was suffering the effects of syphilis.
Tuning: Standard
CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in key of B)
Strum the Amaj7 chords, and fingerpick for the rest of the song.
