"I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually."
– Frank Sinatra
Are you familiar with the song, In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning? It was written in 1955. It's played in the Key of C and sounds so dreamy with these rich chords. The first few chord charts are pretty easy and the last one is from one of my music books.
