The Bee Gees released a live version on their 1998 CD \r\n\"One Night Only\" which kept the country-pop feel of the original \r\nduet. In 2001, the Bee Gees recorded a studio version for their \r\ncompilation CD \"Their Greatest Hits: The Record.\" The 2001 version \r\nhas an R&B flavor, and includes lyrics they wrote for the chorus of \r\nPras' 1998 \"Ghetto Supastar,\" a reworking of the original Rogers/\r\nParton recording. That's the version I charted.\r\n\r\nRobin Gibb's vocal on the 2001 version has a lot of reverb on it, \r\nmaking some vocals indistinct or indecipherable. However, it sounds \r\nto me like he often replaces the 1980s \"ah ha\"s with \"hearts.\" Listen \r\nclosely and you can hear a sibilant \"s\" which changes \"another, ah \r\nha\" to \"another's heart.\" The addition of the Pras chorus, and the \r\ndeletion of the \"making love\" lyrics lend support to the idea that in \r\nthis version most of the \"ah ha\"s have been replaced.\r\n\r\nThe 2001 version is in the Key of C. Barry Gibb sings it in B in the \r\nlive version. I prefer playing it in A with a capo.\r\n\r\nCapo: 2\r\n\r\n| [ch]A[/ch] | [ch]C#m[/ch] | [ch]Dsus2[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] | [ch]A[/ch] | [ch]C#m[/ch] | [ch]Dsus2[/ch] | [ch]Esus4[/ch] |\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                              [ch]Amaj7[/ch]                            \r\nBaby, when I met you there was peace unknown[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                           [ch]Amaj7[/ch]      [ch]A7[/ch]                 \r\nI set out to get you with a fine-tooth comb[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]                                     |[ch]A[/ch]  | [ch]A[/ch] |                    \r\nI was soft inside, there was something going on[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                             [ch]Amaj7[/ch]  \r\nYou do something to me that I can't explain[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]                      [ch]Amaj7[/ch]   [ch]A7[/ch]             \r\n.
