More chords by Roger Alan Wade
Genre: country, pop, rock
Really easy song that Roger hasn't recorded onto an album yet. I'm basing
the
lyrics and chords off his performance at Scenic City Roots. Some of the best
lyrics I've ever read! Forgive me if I've spelled one of the French words
wrong.
Have fun with it! :D
