From: "CHOOSE YOUR OWN CTHONIAN #27 : FEEDING FRENZY" <RHOULETT@DEPAUW.EDU> Rain King by the Counting Crows contributed by Ryan Houlette rhoulett@depauw.edu Write me if you use this. Note: the timing of the words to the chord changes is approximate, because the singer uses very elastic phrasing. This is how I do it. [verse]
