ALTERNATE CHORDING
------------------
If you're a dude like me and you dig Ms. Keys but can't hit the notes well enough
in the orginal key try the following and move the capo up and down the neck until
you hit a range that you think you can handle.
For this example we'll play it down so even the high parts rest comfortably within a male range.
