Written by Don Everly, this song is another one of those sweet heartache songs the Everly
Brothers did so well.

For the most part it's a standard I VI ii V progression in the key of G.

The song starts with the Refrain which has a "pickup" wherein Don and Phil use their
voices to simultaneously arpeggiate a C major chord.  Once voice begins on E, and the other
on G.  I've tried to indicate this as such, but this is the first tab I've ever done.
I hope it's not too confusing.

Chords are shown on top of the words they time out with.  Chords in parentheses are
carried over from the previous measure.

Though I didn't notate the melody, you can pop on the record and use this chart to strum
along. I found it on their "The Complete Cadence Recordings 1957-1960" CD
collection which is worth it's weight in gold.
