Tuning: D G B E

From Gorilla - search "James Taylor Gorilla Music" James Taylor reportedly said "This is the real JT song." A little simpler arrangement for baritone ukulele. The chords shown will also work for guitar. For other ukuleles, try transposing up to +5 (easier to play). Capo at the 2nd fret to match the key of the recording. On ukulele, please use the following finger positions: Cmaj7 5500 Bbmaj7 3335 [Verse 1]
