i will always love you

During its original release in 1974, "I Will Always Love You" reached number four in Canada on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart and peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, becoming one of the best selling singles of 1974.[18]. [Intro] C G C G Em C D / [Verse 1] C G If I should stay Em D C D Well, I would only be in your way G D G And so I'll go, and yet I know Em D C D That I'll think of you each step of my way / It would eventually peak at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, thus Parton reached the number one position twice with the same song, a rare feat that Chubby Checker had previously achieved when "The Twist" reached number one in 1960 and again in 1962. Something in my heart says, 'Don't do that. 1. If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way.
