Up a Third

I've been practicing the new song for my concert at Chambanacon, because it's embarrassing when you get up on the risers and discover that you have no idea of what you're doing. Having a fake book version of the lyrics and chords on a music stand helps a lot, of course, but there's that matter of hitting the correct note. But that's easy, right, because the chords are there to guide you.

The first chord in the song is AMaj7. The first sung note in the song is C#, which is the third for that chord. Let's just beat that into my head now.

The first chord in the chorus is D6. The first sung note in the chorus is F#, which is the third for that chord. Because, sure, why not?

Practice, practice, practice...
