Chords

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: adslam3 I figured this out without a capo originally so I had to play around to find a good pitch. Capo on 4 sounds really close. I'm not sure about the C to start the chorus, but to differentiate between verse and chorus I do one hammer-on the D string during the C chord.

Said "I don't think I'm gonna go very far"

     C                           G              Dm
Just take me one time around the ballroom slow,

            F
And take me home.
