Here's a cool little tune that I first heard in the classic hockey movie "Slapshot".  I
included he basic chord structure of the song as well as the full tab with chord
condensed to one guitar part.  I have tried to make timing as obvious as possible; all 
are eighth notes:

A Little Bit South of Saskatoon
Written by: Sonny James (1975)
Transcribed by: David Podradchik (2007)

This is used for the intro and verse throughout the song:
