(LEAD BREAK)  (REPEAT FIRST VERSE & CHORUS AGAIN) 
(REPEAT LEAD & CHORUS AGAIN THEN TAG OUT) 
 
Note: This is a cool old traditional Country Song.  
The way our band does it is very uptempo and Southern 
Rockish.  We start out the song with just 3 part 
harmony vocals untill the first A.  It makes it a neat 
arrangment that goes over well in the clubs.
