Subject: Dear Someone by Gillian Welch
Song: Dear Someone
Written and Performed by: Gillian Welch and David Rawlings
Album: Time (The Revelator), Acony Records 2001
Notes: 3/4 time, played in G# (capo 1st), shown here as if played open for
simplicity-s sake. I'm missing subtleties of this tune, esp. 4th line of the
verses and transition at the end of last verse before it repeats last line,
but it's too pretty a song not to have on the board, even if posted in this
admittedly incorrect state. Chords in parentheses sound okay, but I'm not
sure about em. I alternate D chords (see below). The G7 might be a Gm7 or a
straight Gm(?). All others are standard. If you can fix it or refine it,
please send corrections or additions to Greg at [email protected]. Thanks.
