Hey everyone, I thought I'd take a moment to chart out Ben Rector's version of 
Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"

If you haven't seen it, check it out on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BW_ugyj0lw

Awesome version of the song and fun to play.  Also, I know he plays in the key of 
B, but I find it easier to capo on the 4th fret and play it in G.  You can 
transpose it back down if you'd like.  Enjoy.

Capo 4
