Bob McDill

Steve recorded this song on Whole World Round back in 1983 on Kicking Mule records. It's been a favorite for years and here's a version you can play along with. The chart is in the key of C but the recording is actually sung in the key of D. You can either put a capo on the 2nd fret and follow along using C shapes from the chart - OR just play along in D (and transpose your chords to D-G-A (1-4-5).
