*Heywood's version was an instrumental; I've credited his version here mainly because I prefer it melodically to others I've heard. These lyrics were the ones The Diamonds used for their #34 version the same year. I had all but forgotten this song until I saw and heard it again, featured in a compilation CD being hawked on TV.
The lyric and guitar chord transcriptions on this site are the work of The Guitarguy and are intended for private study, research, or educational purposes only. Individual transcriptions are inspired by and and based upon the recorded versions cited, but are not necessarily exact replications of those recorded versions.
