This is a great song by the Sutherland Brothers Band, before they joined forces with Quiver to become
Sutherland Brothers & Quiver. Before Sutherland Brothers & Quiver, the band had two hits, The Pie, and
Sailing, the latter to be made famous later by Rod Stewart.
I hope this sounds good to you. There are more subtle seventh and diminished chords going on in this
song which I haven't faithfully reproduced here. But I think this is the bones of it - it sounds okay to me!
Play around with it and feel free to suggest any corrections :)
