Okay, so this [Ab] is what I figured out [C] for 500 miles away from home and it's probably the
easiest and I think it sounds the best.
So I'm playing on the [B] classical even though I probably should play the [Gb] alpharets but it
just sounds better.
Anyway, like I was telling you on the [C] phone.
Anyway, [Ab] basically the chords, [C] I'm thinking you can see this, are C [Ab] and then A [Am] minor and
[A] then it goes to D minor and [F] then to F and [G] then [Ab] to G.
You can do a [G] G7.
Actually sounds pretty good.
I have a habit of doing a G7 which is adding [Gb] that on but you can do it that way and it's
just as easy.
[C] And I found a guy on
[N] YouTube that had a good little intro like this.
[B] [C] [Ab] So anyway, I'm going to try and sing part of it.
[B] [C] You can see where I'm going.
Teardrops fell on Mama's nose.
When I [Am] read the things she wrote.

[C] But see, see.
[Am] Down to A minor.
[D] D minor to [F] F.
Back up [G] to G.
[E] And so it goes [F] like that.
And I saw two renditions of it.
And they were changing the chords in the chorus.
But it's such a short song.
I [B] just do that all [C] the way through.
So I'm going to put the words to [B] it.
[G] Down under.
[C]
Down underneath where you see me.
[N] There will be the lyrics.
And I'm going to try and put the chords on this when I [C] import it.
