Can anyone tell me where I can find the tab for the steel work in Gene Watson's version of "A Way to Survive"?

Thanks guys.

It's on Rebel & Ricky's site -- try 1995.

I believe the version on Ricky and Rebel's website is Darrel McCall's.

Thanks guys, but the version there is Buddy Emmons. That's not the one I need. I'm not sure who played on the record.

I know that version sounds a little different but I'm sure that's Buddy. I've heard that it wasn't unusual for Buddy to tweak an intro/turn, etc., even between sessions of the same recording project.

I'm sure he could clear this up for us.

Randy, we're talking about two different artists, Darrell McCall and Gene Watson.

What's really confusing is that Buddy played on both sessions.

I've only heard the intro on the Darrell McCall version, but I absolutely love the steel on Gene Watson's. He also played on Ray Price's version, right? And then he's recorded it twice, himself, I believe, a studio and a live version. Do you think he knows the tune?
