(Remember) Walking in the Sand
George Morton

One of the best singles of the sixties, no, one of the best *ever*,
and I never really knew what it was about until I wrote it out just
now. Poor Mary.

Notes:

Chord voicings for the [Eb/A7 A7 Dm] part:

Eb/A7 A7 Dm
|-----5------5------5----|
|-----5------5------6----|
|-----6------6------7----|
|-----5------5------7----|
|-----8------7------5----|
|-----5------5------5----|

Actually, I don't know what "Eb/A7" is, but I had to call it
something.

The Aerosmith version is OK, I guess, but this is one of those songs
that really doesn't work in the male voice. Maybe Liv Tyler should do
a cover of it with the Wonders.
