Hello there,

I really wanted to find chords for this song, but most Ron Sexsmith songs have the decency
of being easy to play, so I thought I'd do it myself. This one is particularly charming,
off the Blue Boy record, which is a favourite from this Canadian artist.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
