 The prettiest  thing
 I ever did see
Was lightening  from the  top of a  cloud
 G/DGDG G,DGDG G Bass line pattrn DGDG G, DGDG G = 4-16th notes & 1-qtr note
 Moving through the dark a million miles an hour
  (,,)*  Indiv. treble
 segue into next chord
 With somewhere to be
 So why does  it seem
 Like a picture
Hanging  up on someone  else's wall
Lately I  just  haven't  been myself at all
 It's heavy on  my mind
 I'm dreaming again
 Like  I've always  been
 And way  down low
I  still know
 That the prettiest  thing
 I ever did see
Was dusty  as the  handle  on the door
Rusty  as  a nail  stuck in the old pine floor
 Looks like home  to  me
 Piano Solo Improv based on chord progression , , , , ,  Very cool, but cannot
 a piano tab for this sorry
 I'm  dreaming  again
 Like  I've always  been
 And  way down  low
 thinkin' of the prettiest  thing
 Outro Solo similar to 1st solo only more bluesy
 Hope all Piano playing Norah fans like this. This song is NOwhere to be found tabbed or
 on the internet. I worked my bum off on it with the rythm & bass lines. I wanted a
 piano song to sing to without the need of accompaniment. I'm a fledgling player on both
 & guitar so this was time consuming. Trying to line up things was difficult too. If
 have questions, contact me at my profile. Peace.
