"Insider"

[David]

I was listening to the Ian & Sylvia recording of "Four Strong Winds" this afternoon, which led me to pull out an old favorite, Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris "Grievous Angel." It's always a treat to sit down with that album for a half-hour. It got me to thinking about Tom Petty's love for this work & how it influenced "Insider," which we were just talking about in another thread. So I want to map out the chords for "Insider" in the hopes that you will at least try it, & your soul will be at peace.
