Here is a beautiful acoustic ballad from Dave Gahan. It was released as a b-side of
"Dirty sticky floor" single in 2003. The song was written by Gahan and Knox Chandler. There
is actually two guitar tracks on it (second is a solo), but i decided to make it
without second one :)
So, listen to the original and try to play. It sounds fairy in acoustic guitar! :)
