Biografía:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
a few notes at the risk of being verbose:
i saw this song transcribed differently
on a website, with the capo on the 5th fret,
with the chords BmGDA, (and that's the way richard does it live
i believe) but i play along with the CD with no capo,
in the key of Em/G (i think that's right).
both ways sound right when played along with the CD,
but i like my way better.
just use an easy, free-picking style, listen to how richard plays,
and you'll see what i mean.
sorry, i don't write tab; i play by ear...
but it's really quite simple.
he adds a lot of hammer-ons and twiddly things in there.
really a pretty song.
comments, suggestions ?
feel free...

let's not drive away just yet
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
Give me a mo- ment more
Em/addG D C/G G
to walk through those rooms again
Em/addG D
to walk through that door
Em/addG D C G
if we turn off the radio
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
i've only to close my eyes
Em/addG D C/addG G
and the wind in the sycamores
Em/addG D
will carry me home
G C/addG
the vine of my memory
G C/addG
is blooming around those eaves
G C/addG Em/addG D C/addG
but it's true it's a chore to tame wis - ter- ia
Em/addG D C/addG
wis - ter- ia
Em/addG D C G
i'm tempted to ring the bell
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
maybe they'd ask me in
Em/addG D C/addG
or maybe it's just as well
Em/addG D
to just let it be
Em/addG D C G
remember the price we paid?
Em/addG D C/addG Cmaj7/addG D
it seemed like a lot back then
Em/addG D C/addG G
remember the love we made
Em/addG D
the day we moved in?

it did need some pruning back
