The song is notable for the simplicity of its structure, relying upon a 2-chord, minor-key, rhythm guitar figure and alternating minimal accompaniment from fiddle and steel guitar. It also features Williams' trademark "yodel." The song's th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
