My good friend Jen asked for a sad song. This is a sad song. I don't know if she knows the song.. or even likes it. I hope she does.
Originally written by a man, about a woman, you'd be forgiven for thinking that with me being a heterosexual female I would change the \"her\" to a \"him\". But the \"her\" is integral to the rhyming scheme of the middle section of the song. It would be the equivalent of changing \"Brown Eyed Girl\" to \"Brown Eyed Boy\" - a travesty....
It's quite hard to play this song on only 4 strings, so it almost sounds right, but not really. Much nicer sounding on a guitar or piano.
