ItŐs not exactly whatŐs 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 ŇG C/G G C/GÓ in the verses are played like the guitar intro Greg Vaughn gvaughn@olga.net
