[N] John Donovan, you immediately went to the slow ballad tempo.
You can tell almost immediately what tempo you feel it should be, can't you?
Well, it wouldn't be.
[G] No man is an island [Dm] _ in [C] tar or sand.
It's not one of those, [A] is it, really?
[B] It's a serious piece.
Lovely words.
And you picked out [Abm] one of the stanzas as the [D] chorus automatically.
[Bb] No man is an island.
That was the [Ab] strongest lyric.
No [Gb] man is an island.
It's great.
And is that the way you do it with most of the lyrics sent to you?
You judge what they're_
Well, usually it's just_
What happens is I don't particularly look at certain lyrics.
