___________________________________________________________________ I'm submitting this because the previous submission was both incomplete and incorrect with some unexpected key changes in the chords unexplained. After listening to the first recording of this song in the album "Known by the Scars" 1984 it seemed he first wrote it in C. In the live album "Circles in the Sand" he plays it half a step down in Bb possibly to accommodate his accompaniment.
