It's not exactly what's on the CD, but it's close. If anyone has something better, I'd be happy to hear about it. Bm7 is played x24232 Em7(add4) is played 002030 It helps to play the G with your middle, ring, and pinky fingers Just slide 2 frets up the neck to get the D/G chord in the guitar intro Listen to the song to get the rhythm The "G C/G G C/G" in the verses are played like the guitar intro If you download this then I assume that you are a country music fan like me. I haven't found enough country songs in the archive, so I'll begin sending some of my own, hoping that others will send some that I don't know. If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no sense (this is my first attempt at tab notation) feel free to e-mail me.
