I think of this song’s form in two parts: (I try to think in numbers as much as possible.) I’ve included both the melody in tab and music notation as well as the rhythm track in tab. And I have taken small liberties in the that I consider “me” (whatever that means).I am fairly pleased to discover how well the melody lays out in this tuning.The tab is my first venture into authoring steel tab (via Tabledit), and though Tabledit writes the music notation, I’m pretty new to notation so, I’m sure it’s a little bastardized.I have most of the chords and melody correct by ear (without using my fake book or finding it online – though I did that later to confirm quality).My execution is not 100 percent perfect but it is an accomplishment for me in several respects: Everything you hear on this track is my 8-string RAM Speak Easy lap steel playing in three tracks in Garageband all in C6/A7 tuning: Here’s my quick rendition (recording and tab) to the head/melody of an old tune I’ve been intrigued with and practiced with for a long time.
