Song for Memorial
Article Tags: memorial tribute songs
With this Memorial Day, I was thinking about memorial songs. My sister-in-law passed a little over a year ago. At her funeral, a singer/piano player played some Stevie Nicks. But, this got me thinking. Here's what I found.

From the Chordie forum (http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7945&action=new):
1) KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR (He won't let me in anyway)
2) DON'T DREAM IS OVER by Crowded House a GREAT song.
3) WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
4) THE SHOW MUST GO ON both by QUEEN
5) LET IT BE by the BEATLES.
6) DESPERADO by the EAGLES.
7) UNCHAINED MELODY by the RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS
