Hi :) I just came across Canaan Smith on YouTube
(or was it Yahoo music...) and fell in love with
this song. I think it's a good one :) Easy to
play! Follow along with the song to get the timing
and strumming down-

Here's the strumming pattern I do for the intro-
(The '-' means a slight pause)
dudd-udududu-dudd-udududu
G D C G
dudd-udududu-dudd
G D C G*
For the rest it's something like this: dd dud. Sometimes
I do one down strum then a pause, then the dud into the next
chord.
IDK, lol. I'm so bad at putting on paper what I'm actually doing.
I call my strumming "Lyrical strumming to the beat", lol! I
strum to the lyrics and the beat :)

Hey girl, I'm just a small town run around

The way I wanna kiss you is

Slow as the Mississippi
D C
Strong as a fifth of whiskey

Steady as a Tom Petty track

D C

G Em
But I promise that I'm gonna be there by your side
