Notes: Capo at the second fret to play this song.
I'm not sure if this is the way Gordon played it, but it sounds really good anyway.
And thanks heaps to whoever it was who wrote down the chords to the song. It was a
big help. If I had your name I would use it to give you credit for a lot of the stuff
here including the lyrics.
