    I've been lookin for the perfect "common-man" acoustic version of this for a "long-long" time - this is it. Thank you!

    I play an arrangement similar to this as an instrumental space filler sometimes. Cool when the crowd recognizes it and subconsciously start singing along on chorus. Going to try sprucing it up with some of these touches! Very nice

    And there's no one there to raise them
    If you did

    It's just my job five days a week

    OK, one more comment and one more thought for improvement. I love playing with you, which is really a cool thing. It's like having a partner to play with and learn the song together. It would be amazing if the words were also scrolling so you could sing along with it and know everything you have everything in one place it would be the perfect companion to both learn and play with a friend just a thought.
