Notes: Good song, though short, it�s fun to do. I arranged it for one acoustic, so if
have a bass player, neglect all �passing tones.� THIS CAN BE PLAYED IN THE Eb STANDARD
you want to do this, just Capo 3rd instead of 2nd. Oh, and please don�t mind my chord 
I�m lazy. They�ll be notated as if no capo is present.

Tuning: Standard w/ CAPO 2nd

Intro: Listen for rhythm. It�s like a country two-step feel, so hit the bass notes on
own, then stress the higher strings on the strumming. This is especially important on the
tones, like the E/F# and the A2/B.

*The F#/G# isn�t critical, it�s a quick switch anyways, so you could just play the G#
on its own, then head to the A2 to simplify it.

�by my side. & I can promise you, that you'll�be my best friend.

Bridge?: (O:53) Fuller strumming, don�t worry about hitting bass notes like before, just
the rhythm right.

Outro: Don�t necessarily try to follow along with the words, since there�s echoing; just
for the chord changes and they�ll be right.
