Alterations and Corrections Welcome!!!!
Ok guys this is one of the first couple songs I have tried to figure out.
Emmylou is great and this song and the new CD proves it. This might not be
correct but if works good for an acoustic song, particularly with a guy and
girl harmony. Good luck and happy pickin'
