Love me any- [Em7] way? [D/F#] [G] Love me any- [Em7] way? [D/F#]
No Ou [G] [Em7] No Ou [D/F#] [G] OooooooooOooooo,
No Ou [G] [Em7] No Ou [D/F#] [G] OooooooooOooooo. (fade out)

hi to low e-- 008767

Mark has 3 guitar players, and not one uses a capo on it when they
play live. But good job on the progression. Thanks.
