How To Play Sanctuary

11-24-11

In 1982, John W. Thompson and Randy Scruggs wrote a beautiful song called Sanctuary. Are you familiar with it? I've played it many times with different arrangements. The one I am playing here is arranged by carol Tornquist. It has an easy feel in two beats.




The particular setting I'm using on the keyboard gives it that airy sound you here in the background.
Just use your l.h. for the broken chords, mostly an F chord. Now the song starts in the Key of F.

The Intro:

F2
Bb2/F
F2
Eb
C7sus

I love the sounds of the C7sus. You're playing CFBb/C
