                                     ( G. Vannelli )

 Friends, if you feel you have a
better chord, note, passage, lyric--please feel
free to contact me at the Email address below,
and the necessary changes will be made! The
objective here and with all the Vannelli charts
I have submitted is to have posted an accurate
transcription of his music for all of us to enjoy.
I have attempted to chart this material as accurately
as possible, yet there remain passages that I'm still
not entirely comfortable with, and I strongly encourage
any outside input! Since I am a member of this site,
it is possible for me to edit any of these charts.

  small case letters above chord symbols indicate melody/high note voicing
