Tuning: E A D G B E

Mix up the verse strum patterns, e.g. play pattern 1, 2, 1, 1 for the first two lines, then pattern 1, 2, 2, 2 and end with 1, 2, 1, 1. Can vary as you wish or play verse 2 slightly differently.

That's it...on the "oooo"s at the end is where Gary does some of his finest beautiful vocal improvisation. I've hit his notes a few times and if you can hit them (Guys mostly) they are really tons of fun to sing. Good luck with this and enjoy. Rock On! Chris "Are you guys ready to Country N Roll!?!" Jay Demarcus (He said that at the show I went to =D)
