Let Your Mind in My Mind (Chords)

These are the official lyrics and chords for the song “Let Your Mind in My Mind”. It’s track #4 from the album “Don’t Forget Me”.

Don’t have much notes on this song. Chords are quite simple, nothing fancy going on here. This song has some qualities of a “musical theatre” song, especially the intermezzo and bridge. Best played with a healthy dose of frustration and cynicism, though not too much.
