By Roy Orbison and Joe Melson. Linda Ronstadt version, 1977. This arrangement by Mark Miller-McLemore.

Try it in "A major" for easier singing if you want to hit the low and high notes.

*Arpeggio: this is still a 4-beat measure, but, in the chord shown you will play strings "four, three, two, one" on beats "1, &, 2, &" then REST for beats "3, &, 4, &".

NOTE: Where you see this symbol "(%)" it means that a new measure is starting, but don't change chords.
