NOTES:
Written in 1966 for Tamla Motown Records, this song has been covered by
several artists but the memorable versions are Marvin Gaye's and Diana Ross's.
This was transcribed from Marvin and Tammi's version.

I transcribed this one tone lower than on Marvin & Tammi's recording, because
you can use simpler chords that way. If you want to play along with M & T, 
slap a capo on 2.
