Chord/Tab song: That Ain't the Way I Heard It

I have heard a couple different variations of this song as far as the order of
verses and number of choruses, etc. (I believe, for example, it's done
differently on the acoustic version they play on CMT) but this is how the song
appears on Trisha's CD "Where Your Road Leads".

Listen to the song for the timing of the snapped stops during the chorus. It
snaps exactly on the first beat of the second measure of each line. I believe
this song is usually played with Capo I (eliminate all #'s), but I also like
the way it sounds with Capo III. Enjoy!
