Please note, that some chords start in the middle of words. This
is shown by the chord being placed within a word at the point where
the chord begins, not at the start.
Slightly strange chord pattern. If you're after the normal A, D & E
pattern that's used a lot in these songs, you'll need a capo on fret
5 and go from A->E, D->A, G->D.

I've only heard her and Vince Gill do this, in that sample you have does she end up doin the whole song? -p8nter21 | 1/4/2005 | Yep, she sings it all. The lyrics I found for this song were a little different to this version, mind. -danielcraggs | 1/5/2005 | do you have it on mp3 format?? :) -p8nter21 | 1/5/2005 | the first an seconde verse need to be reveresd i do believe.. -driller | 1/6/2005 | Nope he has it right -p8nter21 | 1/6/2005 | For this version, the verses are in this order. It's more of a chronological order in this, rather than the common order many versions are in. Thanks for your concern though :-) -danielcraggs | 1/6/2005 | maybe this version is different than the one i have... i have the one with her an vince gill.. but no biggy.. good job.. -driller | 1/7/2005 |
