There's no tabs of duet Dolly / Kenny on UG, so I just compiled existing versions and add modulation in G after 1st refrain plus I changed few details. In their live version, key is B. I hope that it'll be useful.Was this info helpful?

I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb.

You do something to me that I can't explain
                             B7         E
Hold me closer and I feel no pain every beat of my heart

We got something going on.

Put capo on 1 or transpose up a half step if you want to play with the original recording :)
