Previous tabs were off so I decided to update it. You can choose to play this lower on the frets of the D and A strings rather than higher on the E and A strings as I've tabbed it here (using the 3rd fret on the D string for that root F and the first fret of the A string for the Bb, then following the pattern thereafter), I just found this way preferable. Great song; enjoy it! Basic country root-fifth with some walking variations (and by some, I think I mean there's one...). The sax sample was tabbed in the original version, so I tried to update that as best I could as well. One note may be off. If so, please correct. Thanks! -shaner231 |
