Then repeat all three verses, gradually fading out with increasing reverb, and end on
my questions diappear."
Notes:
Sounds great with a bit of palm-muting on an acoustic. Generally you could get away with
Dm7 for Dm9 - it's easier and sounds almost the same when you're singing over the top.
that matter you could simply use Dm for both Dm7 and Dm9 if you wish - still sounds
Personally I'm dubious about that first F chord in "Silver Magick ships...", I feel it
probably be a G.
Enjoy!!
