The Cowboy Rides Away

Post by John A. Russell »

Here is my attempt at this months tab.
One of George Strait's finest.
Worked hard on this one.

I am only going to make this one available for One Week, as I have picked up a couple of contracts and won't have time to send out after that.

So if this one appeals, PM me you email address and I'll get a copy to you.

Thanks to all the friends I have met through the Forum and of course, Thanks Bob.

Just got a chance to look over this tab and it looks like a lot of work but well worth the effort. It's very well done as all John's tabs are.

John, this one was a challenge. It took me a few days to work through this song. I like the tune and your tab is right on. Great job John. I appreciate you sharing your expertise.

Thanks John.Just printed out the Tab.Beautifully presented once again with a nice picture of George.I have to say your Tab provides the player with many different alternative positions of playing basically the same melody using modern pedal/knee lever movements.The second arrangement of the song an octave higher is a challenge in itself .The lyrics are a good addition I think as it helps with the timing and knowing where you are in the song.On my copy on page 5 the middle line of tab has skipped a line but that's no problem as it occurs elsewhere correctly.
Congratulations again on a fine arrangement.
