I want to be in love - By Melissa Etheridge
From the albumn - Skin.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great songwriter and truely wonderfull entertainer,
catch a concert if you can, there aren't many ladies out there
who can play guitar like Melissa.
This song is pretty straightforward, standard chords,Sus2 here and there.
It's the voice and rhythm that make it one you'll want to sing along to.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first submissiom - been playing for a year so please forgive
any mistakes - I think it's pretty close to the original.
