You Take My Breath Away: Tucks Voicings

When we started recording I was consistently pulling some voicings out of tune. At the time I could not
control this, so I revoiced where necessary (labeled CD). Now Im better at it, so I use the old live
ones again (labeled live). Notes: (1) When two notes are shown on one string, they are either melody
(in intro) or options (in verse/chorus). (2) Roots are in squares. (3) Where chords repeat, I did not
repeat the diagrams. You figure it out. (Bars 12, 13, chorus).
