Help!

It's a friends 40th next weekend - and her daughter wants to sing at her party - and the song that means the most to them all is 'Make my heart fly' by the Proclaimers from the movie 'Sunshine on Leith' - now it looks fairly straight forward - 3 chords - but I'm not confident enough (and don't know the song anyway) to stand up and back her...

After a huge favour from anyone who could help, and perhaps play it and record it so we could use it - I'd be indebted to whoever could do it forever...

Can anyone spare the time and skill to assist? Many thanks

	g3zdm says: 1/21/2015 8:34:41 AM I was eagerly awaiting news of how this went. Simon. Well done ! That's a new landmark just achieved and new skill developed. Hope to see you in the chatroom again sometime (not tonight as I will be at ceilidh band practice and have a jam tomorrow).
