Sorry About The Weather

"Sorry About the Weather" by Mark Curry

transcribed by Michael G. Anderson Mikey5@bigfoot.com

This transcription is a more difficult version than the one already

submitted to the OLGA,

but it is more correct to what you hear on the CD.

Chords used:

(I'm not sure of all the correct chord names, which is why

I use the * symbol to mark some of them.)

F# = 2 4 4 3 2 2

A = 5 7 7 6 5 5

E = 0 2 2 1 0 0
