Alright...Since the only tab I found on here was the wrong key, this is my own tab.
I played this at my family reunion not long ago, and my cousins sang it along with me.
uncle brought his acoustic also, so I taught him the chords so he could play along.
Later he asked me for the chords, and the only page I could link him to on here was in
wrong key...
So here you go, man.
