Standard caveat concerning Tuning: Inside 6 E9 ( E-F#-G#-B-E-G#) or if you are using B-E-G#-B-E-G# tuning you will need to be careful to move string 6 of the tab to string 5.

This version only uses A & B for the majority of the piece. In one place it uses an F lever (which raises the E's) and in one place it uses the E lever (which lowers the E's). If you do not have those levers you can take advantage of the wide spacing on your six string to use a slant and grab the two most important strings, or hit all three with a lot of vibrato to kind of "split the difference." It goes by pretty quickly so don't fret (no pun intended) too much over it.

You will also see that the end of the verse as originally tabbed uses strings 9 & 10, which you do not have, so I have omitted them.

This version was done by Ricky Davis and posted a couple times in the past. Thanks a lot Ricky, for this and for all you have done for the forum.

I have taken the liberty to modify the tab slightly to substitute a note on the high E string for a note on the chromatic Eb string which the 6 string guitar does not have. Here is the link to Ricky's original work:
