Hi Dave, Reece made a great recording of this on his Bb6 maj7th tuning, but I don't know if he tabbed it.

I have played it myself, and it is a little complicated, but I am sure you will find it in one of the links.

There are top pros who have tabbed a lot of these old tunes. "Seek and ye shall find"...al

Wow, you can really hear the muffin!

Hey John--ever hear Bill Evans do this?
Enough to make me wanna burn the 88's, or some of them. (Just my luck, I'd burn the wrong ones, just like I played the wrong ones.)

I do this a little differently. These are the chords I hear most often in the first eight bars of this song. This requires a knee lever that lowers the 5th string a whole tone for a nice dissonant C minor ninth chord in the third measure. this position also leaves the tenth string available for the root in that bar so you can maintain a C "pedal" tone (with the 5th pedal down). The rest can be played on the 12th and 13th frets with little bar movement.

I won't post the rest, because I believe that Jim Loessberg has tab for this song for sale on his site.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jerry Gleason on 28 October 2000 at 09:20 AM.]</p></FONT>
