[Dm] And the only thing you got to watch for, as [N] I mentioned, for those watching the demo, is the end of this song, if you're singing it.
And you're going to do the background, and then James Taylor kind of jumps in with a couple of words.
And you're going to bounce back and forth between those lead and background, lead and [D] background.
It [D#] takes a bit of breath out of you if you're not [G]
[D] careful.
[G] You've got to be ready for that.
So anyway, let's give it a play, see if [Dm] I can pull it off.
