(i) Eva Cassidy Biography
Eva Marie Cassidy was born on February 2nd, 1963. Music was introduced to Eva at an early age by her father, Hugh – who surrounded her with the voices of Pete Seeger, Buffy St. Marie and Ray Charles. He taught Eva how to play the guitar and she learned to accompany herself and her siblings (Anette, Margret and Dan) in a family music group.
As a teenager, Eva sang with friends in several bands and groomed her musical talents and performance skills. By the early 1990s she was doing studio work, performing with her friends – and then recorded “The Other Side” with Chuck Brown. Eva’s career turned a corner that would lead her to pursue more solo work. She developed a repertoire of “great” songs that inspired her, and would later be the reason we all remember her – not for songs she wrote, but for songs that she interpreted and made her own.
Eva’s voice was recorded at many of her performances at local Annapolis and Washington DC venues, and at studio sessions – little did we all know that this was a miracle. Eva’s young life was cut short on November 2, 1996, by cancer. She was surrounded by music her entire life – now she surrounds our lives with her music.

Hello and thank you for taking your time to provide listeners with such a detailed and comprehensive tutorial. You put a lot of work into it 🙂
I am a new guitar player and am not sure what chords are played in this song other than the D and A, I believe I can see.
I know it’s on the 7th fret. I am a recording artist and thank you for your help!
Have a blessed day,
Tammy Stahl from Michigan.
Hi Tammy, many thanks for the positive feedback. If you go to the link above which says tabs and scroll down the pdf, the chords are handwritten there. Hows life in Michigan ?
