3.Won't you tell them I said thanks for waitin' for me
Tell my boy to help his Mom at home
Tell my Rose to try to find another.
Cause it ain't right that she should live alone.
4.Mister here's the bag with all my money.
It won't last them long the way it goes.
God bless you for finding me this morning.
Now don't forget to give my love to Rose.
Repeat Chorus
Last Line:
TA 3 E* (strum chord slowly) TA 4 A
And don't forget to give my love to (pause) Rose.
TA= Turn around between chords.
TA 1= a--0-0-2-3| (a to d)
TA 2= e--0-2-3--| (e to a)
TA 3= e--3-2----| (a to e)
TA 4= a--4-3-2--| (outro e to a)
Each turn around leads into the bass note of the next chord that is played. Where there is a star next to the e chord,
that is where you play the bass note on the e string first
then the bass note on the a string.
I can also do this in C easily as I play the song in 'a' and
'c'. but the song actually is done in the key of a.
I have the original recording and the turnarounds are slightly different than the turnarounds on this version.
