Pay Attention
The Wood Brothers
This song is in the key of C major and is 3/4 time.
He uses pretty standard chord voicings. The only one that
might be foreign to some would be the Gm9 which is played like this:
E|--5--|
B|--3--|
G|--3--|
D|--5--|
A|--5--|
E|--3--|
I usually play it without the root but that?s just my preference.
Not sure how Oliver plays it each time through. Anyhow, here?s the song...

3/4 || C | C | Am | G | F |
| Bb | Am | G | G ||
(Listen to CD for proper strumming and timing)
VERSE:
[C]Please pay att[F]ention to me[C] [G]
Was the la[C]st thing I heard as I dr[Gm9]ifted to sleep
