This is a greatly simplified arrangement for novices. The actual song has a half-step up key change at the
start of the second and third verses (A Kenny Rogers trademark!). This arrangement simplifies the chords and
eliminates the key changes to make the song more approachable to newer players. Feel free to capo it anywhere
to suit your singing voice.

Yeah, yeah, oh

 yeah...
