This is a fairly simple song to play.
Simple chord progression that Marty does is enhanced with his freestyle form.
Good luck and don't be afraid to try something different.
The second half of the first verse is not in the album version, but if you listen to
early recordings of this, you will hear this verse.
I liked it so I added it in. Impress you friends.

You and I here all alone Sunday morning here at home
