Attempt to capture chords and lyric changes for Dolly's new version of this song
featuring Linda Perry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ruw0_o-tWzk
Linda seems to use Asus2 (x02200) as a transition before moving from A to Bm and Cadd9
(x3x030) or
Dsus2 (xx0230) as a transition when moving from D back to A. It also seems like she
sometimes plays the
Bm leaving the high E string open (x24430).
