This is based on his live version from the Easter Tapes. Goodman arpeggiates the first verse, and then plucks
or strums the rest of the song in 6/8 time. As noted above, when he goes to the A and the D in the bridge,
he slides up to them in F position and plays them as barre chords at the 5th fret, then plays the G and G#
barred at the 3rd and 4th respectively.

Last night I stayed up late to watch the sunrise
C7 F
It afforded a wonderful view

Count the sheep 'til I cry

Count the times you said goodbye

A love like some forgotten I.O.U.
