Chords for Acoustic Alchemy - "Mr Chow" (1987)

_ _ _ _ _ One day there was an appointment with a gentleman from England a guy by the name of Nick Webb [D] who
Wanted to see me about the master series.
And so [E] Nick came in and sort of presented [N] me with the idea of acoustic alchemy
himself and Greg Carmichael I pursued it and we did sign acoustic alchemy and I
Guess besides Larry Carlton acoustic alchemy were the two artists
That made the master series flat
by that time I had
realized I had signed two very very
Spectacular gifted musicians and and who are very serious, you know on the first album.
There was a song called.

Which is not normally what nylon string classical players do I thought this was great.
And I thought why don't we write a tune around that and
We ended up with this rather angular as a Chinese melody that I've shuffled over the top and he put these chords together
which were really jazzy and
