SEA OF TEARS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (July 6th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 80
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: Please Remember Me by Tim McGraw-76 bpm ('Greatest Hits')
	Please Remember Me by Rodney Crowell-76 bpm ('Jewel Of The South')

Choreographer's note: Though I have always loved the original 1995 recording of
this song by Rodney Crowell, I reckon that the Tim McGraw version just has the
edge. A lot of people will be able to relate to the bitter sweet words of this
song. There should be at least one lengthy tag within this dance on the 3rd wall
...but on occasions I like to keep it simple. To help with the timing, the chorus
line starts from count 45 (hence the odd count numbering) on the 1st and 2nd walls
but not on the 3rd - the final (4th) wall being purely instrumental. I have also
included, because of the number of turns within the dance, clock facing positions
at the end of each relevant section header.

Tim McGraw version - dance starts after 25 counts from the start of the music, at
the end of the word '....sea'

Rodney Crowell version - dance start after 17 counts from the start of the music,
at the end of the word '....sea'.
