I like Willie Nelson's version of this song, so decided to try to figure it out on steel. Here is my arrangement - a good one for novice players, maybe. Lots of minor chords in there. I will include a link to a sound file of me playing it - I just got the arrangement sorted out, so I sound even worse than normal! I've been playing two years now, so I get to brag that "I suck at psg". I like the arrangement, if not my playing! Better players, feel free to add some embellishments and post them.

Song was written by Paul Craft, and performed by Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, and no doubt others. If you want the backing track, either as an MP3 or a BIAB file, just email me.

Thanks for sharing that great tune Doug. Up until now I wasn't familiar with it.
