      Yeah the basic chord progression is simple but she does a lot of really varied and intricate chord phrasing to add depth and melody to it. McLaughlan is mostly known for her beautiful voice but she's a very underrated guitarist too.

    She's incredibly talented. To sing that beautifully while playing amazing guitar parts behind it. She's not exactly just strumming G-C-D here. A lot of people can put a capo on a guitar and bang out 3 chord shapes while they sing, doesn't make them guitar players in any way. She's really a very good guitarist.

    Such a pure, beautiful, natural voice and a hell of a guitarist too, those are some intricate chord patterns mixed with melodic leads worked in there. I just can't understand why this isn't still up in the top charts today, sounds better than 99% of the music on the radio and the trash teen pop that are basically glorified karaoke singers. Sarah writes her music and can actually perform the parts herself, that gets 100% more respect and most other musicians any day. Fantastic take on this classic song...
