What I Thought Of You

I overheard Holly Throsby’s “What I Thought of You” on season 2, episode 10 of “Offspring,” an Australian dramedy featured on Netflix. I found the song’s imagery interesting. Throsby is Aussie. Mixed up the Am and F using top C notes at strategic locations. I used the 2nd position Am in the intro and outro. I took the song on Zoom tour to:
