Girl, you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep;
    |                    |                |A       |/  E  /  /

Dwight has put together the quintessential classic country song, with 2 chords no less!
   (3 if you count the E7).

Legend:

Key: A
Meter: 4/4, swing
Tempo: quarter = 174, whoohoo!!

Unless otherwise indicated, chords start at the beginning of a measure
| indicates a new measure with the same chord.
/ indicates individual beats of a measure when needed.
If a chord lasts for less than a full measure, the slash mark (/) will indicate the different beats
    of the measure.
/D indicates a specific bass note, rather than a chord type; i.e., /F#  /G#  A - would mean play F#
   and G# as single bass notes (in the right hand of a piano or bass strings of the guitar or on
   the bass, for example) and finally an A chord.
The typesetting used doesnt allow for perfect chord placement, still chords and measures bars
   are almost exactly over the words where they occur, so you should be able to follow the words
   and thus know where the chords change.
