Topic: Promise Me
It's been awhile since I've been on site and posted. I have been checking in pretty regular...just not posting. Good to see the regs are still posting and some new writers coming in. Anywho this song is about Billy Walker realizing he's dying and saying what he wants to say to his good friend (still no name for him) before he dies. Light finger picking with lots of walkdowns in between verses that Chordpro can't? show.
Enjoy
