LOL!  Well, it's not particularly later tonight as I promised in my last
message to my RPM2010 mates, but after I saw this Tunestorm message I
grabbed my trusty Strat and stepped on my rusty looper and in a few
minutes had the chord progression (and a rough melody)  to fit within
the rules of this challenge.  Then, sitting down at GEdit for about a
half-hour came up with the lyrics.

It's sappy, but hey...it's a song, AND it qualifies for both Tunestorm
#1 and RPM2010.  My next one will have more  (larger) balls, I promise. 

I should be able to bang out a completed demo (it's bluesy-country)
later tonight and will upload it to our Packet-In server for your
consideration, and submit it to Tunestorm, but am attaching the song
sheet generated from the source file by the program Chord, using:

chord -t14 -c12 -G Never > Never.ps
ps2pdf Never.ps
