Several years ago, around the early 80s I think, Jeff Newman sent his "mailing list" a copy of tab for this song as a Christmas gift that was very beautiful, as is all of Jeffs stuff. I have long since lost my copy but someone may still have one.

I got the Newman version from LeRoy and am working on it now. Not too difficult, and pretty. I'm not much good at posting tab, so if someone else can do it, that would be great.

Thanks all for your efforts!

Tony send it to my email; and I'll try to mess with it to get it to line up. But in the meantime; here's what Jeff Lampert and I drew up a couple years ago on C6th pedal steel in the original Key of Eb and we labled the pedals(4;5;6;7;8> a;b;c;d;e and "L" is lower half tone and "R" is raise half tone> you'll get it.

Sorry Tony I just can't format the one you copied. Sorry you did all that writing in wordpad...ha...Next time write in notepad.
If anyone wants a word doc..wordpad of Jeff Newman's version; Tony has it and will email it to ya.

Ricky, thanks for trying to straighten out my mess. I don't know why I used word pad, I always use note pad for tab. Live and learn.
As Ricky said if you want a copy just e-mail.
