For obvious reasons, this song has been playing in my head a lot recently. I have sung along with it for decades, but have never thought about learning the guitar parts until this morning
I watched an instructional video and realized that many of the chords are simply what my Guitar Center friends and I call "power chords." They are not that hard to play. You just have to know where to "put them."
I won't bother you with musical details. It may "rock out" a bit much for some MyLotters, but I hope you are open to listening to it. Many MyLotters have probably only heard Cockburn's "Wondering Where the Lions Are," which was a radio hit back in the day.
Sigh. Why are so many of the best American musicians Canadian?
Cockburn is my favorite "Christian musician." One of the songs of his that I already play is "All the Diamonds in this World."
Here's a link to "Lovers in a Dangerous Time," the song I'm posting about.

I'm more familiar with 'If I Had a Rocket Launcher'

I really like the instruments that they use. The music is very 80s too. Have a great day.

I got to meet him in 1980. He was opening for Warren Zevon. How’s THAT for a one-two punch!?
