Ab Gb Fmaj7**
Spread wings, Spread beauty
* you may want to try varying the Eb by using x6888x, x6534x, or 3x134x
** you may want to finger the Fmaj7 with 1x221x, x 8 10 9 10 x, or x8755x
Tips: Watch the third verse, since it alternates between the two chord progressions, you
want to use the two lead-ins alternatively during that verse.
