The chords are suggestions, coming from my knowledge of music theory. You might hear different ones from various Rainbow musicians. Mother I Feel You is by a Rainbow sister named Windsong. If you know of any more that could be included, send me a file with the words, and another I can use to learn the melody, like an mp3 of a performance or a graphic file with written notes on a staff. Send it as an attachment to an e-mail to bb@bliss-fire.com. – Butterfly Bill A high resolution PDF file suitable for printing can be found Here. |
