'Standing Still' by Jewel - Guitar Tutorial
Gtp chords: Standing Still
Song lyrics:
Here's another jewel trascription - a little more complete. I usually use a lot of chord substitutions & such when I play this, this is just a very elemental version of what I play when I play this song out. Remember the various D's (ex.Dsus), A's & B's that you can play during this song to emphasise the words & changes. Have fun . . . Ian . . .
