Does anyone have tabs for this or know where they can be gotten?

It's late, I'm playing without an amp because the kids are in bed, and I'm making no progress. I can get the notes, but not the flow. Do you have anything on it at all?

Amazing how much the steel sounds like a Fender Rhodes on this tune.

I more or less played it on keyboards in my band, but now that I have an old Sho-Bud, I want to learn it on steel. There are really only a couple of licks that sort of define the song.

This is generally what I'm hearing for the fills. Two variations;

<font face="monospace" size="2"><pre>
F# -|------------------------|------------------------------------
D# -|------------------------|------------------------------------
G# -|------------------------|------------------------------------
E -|---------5--------------|------------------------------------
B -|------------5a~5----5---|----------5a~5----------------------
G# -|------5----------5b-----|------5~5b-----5b~5-----------------
F# -|------------------------|------------------------------------
E -|---5--------------------|----5-------------------------------
D -|------------------------|------------------------------------
B -|------------------------|------------------------------------
</pre></font>

I can't seem to get the first chord in the intro. Still trying.
