Lyrics
Lime And Coconut
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This one is from memory. Best as I can recall, all the music is
simply repeating a 7th chord and the 7th chord one fourth up.
I use A7 and D7, because the D7 makes for a nifty sounding
up strum.
