Edited the break in the 3rd line I changed the [A][F] to [F][C] - It sounds better now at least to me it does.

Re: Just for a Day

Hi Jeff,


I love the 'A' to 'F' change in this it is very dramatic and is perfect for your lyrics which deliver a heartfelt message that many of us would like to express to the powers that be. If only......

Re: Just for a Day

Hey Roger - thanks. I had to change it to how it is now because at first it started out with the A and F together but it sounded too 007ish which didn't fit the lyrics of the song so I gave them, the A and the F that is, a little seperation and it worked out. Glad you liked it.
