Nice little country tune played moderately in 6/8 time. Some of the chords start before the
words, so I've put in counts to indicate where those pauses are. Also, each of the dashes in
"Louisiana" is one beat.
The song is originally played in the key of E, so put a capo on the 4th fret to use these
chords, or transpose as you find works best.
Hope that helps.
