NEEDLES AND PINS by JACKIE de SHANNON in C
This is the best version by the writer of the song in the key that she sings it in –
really soulful, with a clever key change.
If you find the intro challenging it is easier in the key of D, but it leaves you with a
key change to F#!
You can play the intro through most of the first and second verse, but definitely half
the intro where the -------------- appears. Listen to Jackie’s version and you will soon
pick it up.
The song actually fades, but I have added a final line
