This song is charted using 'Nashville Numbers' rather than regular chord symbols.  If you are unfamiliar with this system, there are links suggested on the song's page that will help you decipher the code (it is not so hard).

Hope this helps - welcome to chordie!

Hello Steve - I am not familiar with this song . . . but if I did know how it went, here is what I would do:

I would move it into one of my songbooks, then I would open it up using the 'edit' button.  I would then spend a few minutes putting it into chordpro format . . . chords go into brackets [C], and format codes go into braces {c:comment}.  Chords get placed into their proper positions within the lyric, and uneccesary junk gets deleted.  Be sure to save your changes as you are working through the process.

The first time you do it, it will way take too long.  The next time you do it, it will go much faster.  After editing a few songs, you will be an old pro at it . . .

First, pick a song from your songbook that looks really nice . . . open it with the edit button and see just how the chords and formatting commands are constructed.

Why bother?  I think it is worth knowing how to do this stuff because I have found it very helpful in learning new songs, and also very helpful for learning about song structure in general. 

When I am trying to decipher Nashville Numbers, I use the key of C (just habit).  The Number system can be an aggravation, but once you work with it a bit it makes sense.  If you are a Country music (or Gospel, or Bluegrass) fan, you will find many many songs that use this system.

Have fun . . . remember, sometimes playing is alot of work!
