I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry Hank Williams

Post by John A. Russell »

Hey All

I've been working on two tabs at once, City Lights and This one.

I have approached this one differently and have based it on the vocals, steel guitar and fiddle in this Hank Williams video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WXYjm74WFI

Have a listen and watch Hank and if this is the sort of song you like to play, send me a PM with your email address and I will send you a copy, in a couple of days.

Kind Regards

J.R.

Thanks again to John for the fine work on this tune. I hope you continue to produce these tabs as they are extremely helpful, especially to those of us that aren't as skilled as some.
