This song can be played many ways, and with many different arrangements

The album version is played with two guitars (rhythm and lead), one bass,
drums, and piano. However, I find that
the arrangement of two guitars (one acoustic for rhythm and one electric
for picking), with
percussion (you can’t really call it drums, since the percussion in this
version usually only consists of the drummer, Mickey Curry, keeping the
 
beat with  
A 
marraca). The version being tabbed here (the latter version)
 
is very easy to play, and sounds great. It is in  
A 
different key, so it
 
may sound  
A 
little bit different than normal I hope you enjoy it
