Well Jon, I am on the road right now and I could tab it for you if you have something particular in the song you want. I played alot of stuff and I guess I kinda still play it like the original recording but probably not exactly. I haven't listened to it in a long time; eventhough we play it almost every night. Try and give me a clue in the song what you want tabbed and I will listen to it and tab it for you on the road.

Thanks, Ricky. I'll give it a good listen to tonight and narrow it down as much as I can.

Boy, Ricky, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into on this one! I finally got most of it figured out except for the chromatic-type run in the second half of the break. Most of my experience has been backing up singers on slow to medium tunes and this one really gave me a workout. My brain's fried (not to mention my right hand) I could sure use some help on that last bit...

Well Jon, without finding the CD and listening to it; I will try and help. We did the song in G so use your Third string and first string on that run and start at the first fret.

1.______3_______5_______8________10_|
2.__________________________________|
3._1~~3___3~~5b___5b~~8___8~~10b____|
4.__________________________________|
5.__________________________________|
6.__________________________________|
7.__________________________________|

1.__________12_________15________17_|
2.__________________________________|
3._10b~~12b____12b~~15____15~~17b___|
4.__________________________________|
5.__________________________________|
6.__________________________________|
7.__________________________________|

I think it will make more since to you when
you work through it using that combination on
those strings. I forget exactly how I frased it; but I still play a variation of the same run at our present shows. My guitar is on the way to Ft. Worth right now; or I would have sat down and tab it right for you; but I think you can handle it just fine and that tab will get you going in the right direction. If you have anymore trouble; write back and I will do it justice for you. Good luck.

Thanks, Ricky. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. Maybe I'll get it down in time for practice tomorrow.
