Looking for tab on the version by the Byrds off "Sweetheart of the Rodeo". Intro, bridge, turnarounds, fills, etc. Can anybody help? Thanx

Here's the way I play the intro:

<font face="monospace" size="2"><pre>
1 _____8___8__|__________________|_________|
2 _____8___8__|__________________|_________|
3 _8_8________|_8_6_8_13b_13_11__|_8b_6~8__|
4 _8_8___8____|__________________|_8a_6~8__|
5 ____________|_8_6_8_13a_13_11__|_________|
6 ____________|__________________|_________|
7 ____________|__________________|_________|
8 ____________|__________________|_________|
9 ____________|__________________|_________|

3 _8b_________|
4 ____________|
5 _8a_________|
6 ____________|
7 ____________|
8 ____________|
9 ____________|

It may not be 100% but I think it's close. I'll try to post the steel break later.

Thanx Steve....It is real close. There are a few places it doesn't sound quite right and I'm tryin' to 'flesh' it out...anybody have this one nailed?

Greg,
If you can improve it let me know what you come up with.

Thanks a lot Steve...I love these Sweeheart of the Rodeo tunes. Greg have you been able to improve on Steve's work? If so, please post. Thanks

I'm working through the song w/ Steve's post and using Amazing Slow Downer to catch the subtle stuff. ASD is a great little program...I'll post a bit later when I've got it done.
I've got a copy of the re-release of Sweetheart of the Rodeo and it has rehearsal takes on it...one of which is Life in Prison. Different intro, bridge, etc. Pretty cool.
