tempo = ~60
Measures are indicated by "|".  All measures are 4 beats, except a couple measures that 
only have 2 beats, as indicated by the (2) after the chord.  This tab is based on other 
existing tabs, but I have improved the accuracy of the chords and have added timing 
information so that you don't get tripped up by the 2 beat measures.  This is in the 
same key at the recording.  Thanks rich.weber for the accurate chords, avery907 for the 
complete lyrics, and Deeann for suggesting this song!  Turn up the bass!
