The intro pattern is a G,C,G,D...with hammer-on's/pull-off's on the D string  
at the conclusion of playing the C, then again on the D string at the  
conclusion of playing the D (listen to the song...it is very clear) 
 
*note: this same intro pattern, with the hammer-on/pull-off on the C's and  
D's, is also played in the chorus*

Randy and Danny Ray 
They'll show back-up any day 
That's one thing you can count on 
But sometime's they'll be long gone 
 
I'd rather be hunting 
Hooked on fishing 
I read it on their t-shirt 
And if you don't believe it

Verse 3: 
 
Hardwood floor creakin 
Bedroom door squekin

Kiss her on the forehead 
Asked her how she slept 
She says, "honey it's so early, 
We probably shouldn't speak yet" 
 
Chorus 
 
Piano/Steel Again
