"Key West Intermezzo (I Saw You First)"
 By John Mellencamp
 Transcribed by Matt McClain
 (Divine Inspiration by Tiffany Waggoner)

 This song is played in "G" but you tune down 1/2 step, so it is really in Gb.
 I guess John thinks he's in Alice In Chains or something.
 I have typed this in by memory, so this may not be 100% accurate,
 but it is fun to play.
 I like to slow this song down and play it on my friend's 12 string.
 Enjoy.

 This posting is for Tiffany. I love her very very very very much.
 She is the reason that I write and play music, and why I asked her to marry me.
(SHE SAID YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
 I welcome any corrections and additions.
 Please E-mail me the correct lyrics if you got 'em.

Corrected lyrics have been given to me by at least 3 cool people:
MENDE JOVESKI in Australia
"Allan Phinney" at:
and some other cool person who doesn't come to mind (Sorry, dude.)

Peace and Love!!!
