Tuning:
Stevie Wonders wonderful tune. This is how I play it on the piano and it sounds frkn awesome.
Feel free to add your own variations and bassntoes. (the Am/D on "dreams come TRUE" is acually a C69/D and the
Am7/D is a Cadd9/D) but it sounds pretty much the same.
Have fun!
Listen to the song so you know when to change chords.
Original key F, transpose -2.
Peace brothers and sisters.
