PUT THE WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS

  Please friends, if anyone feels they 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.

c3 -c below middle C
c4 -middle C
c5-C-above middle C..etc.
numbers after notes indicated only when notes enter new octave
