Henry_Coppens ★ ★ ★ ★

The chords in the treble tend to swamp out the melody and become rather heavy and monotonous. As a suggestion in place of the 5 repetitive ECG chords, in measure 1 for example, I would use EC, E, EC, E, EC. This also helps with the way the lyrics run - emphasising the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes. A similar approach could be used wherever there are five consecutive same chords. Otherwise good. I like the grace notes as the start of measure 15 and elsewhere. Henry
