Taken from her instructional video from 1996. She calls this Silver Wheels, which is also the title of the instrumental she plays on Bebe Le Strange. It is the same song, just different parts of it...if you check out live performances of her doing the intro to COY, you can see she intertwines them as she usually includes segments of the Bebe Le Strange version. She also sometimes likes to throw in a few bars of the song Hijinx from the Dog and Butterfly album, as well as a bit from Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. Here is a link to her discussing the inspiration for this song, Paul Simon's 'Angie'....or as she puts it, how she 'ripped him off' ; )

As a side note, Paul Simon's version of this song was a redo of Davey Graham's (and then John Renbourn's) Anji'.

Then they went through the big hair glamour faze and lost me for years. Then in the later 90s till present I started seeing videos of them that were really well made not MTV videos but videos of them playing and I saw them in concert and my opinion of them has completely changed! Yes, they are the real deal for sure and extremely talented. The best female band ever I would say.

I have even more appreciation for her as I started to try and learn the song.
