(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.
