Monday Music Quote
Neil Diamond wrote the words and music to Song Sung Blue in 1972. For more information regarding the song, visit http://en.wikipedia.org
"Funny thing but you can sing it with a cry in your voice.... and before you know it start to feeling good, you simply got no choice"
It's a great song played with a swing feel, 4/4 time signature in the Key of C. I have always loved Neil's voice and his style. I got the chords online but the only thing I would add or change is the intro. Try playing:
C
C/Bb
Am
Fmaj7
G7
