I'm trying to learn the intro as played on the 1967 Tammy Wynette version. I found a tab here,
http://users.interlinks.net/rebel/steel/apt9.html
but it's confusing me: I can definitely hear the 8th string in there, but it's not in the tab. I also hear a unison note later on that doesn't seem to be in the tab. Anyone know how this goes?
Apt #9?

That was a great steel lick! I can tab it out tonight as part of my regular posts from memory if no one else gets it done by then. I seem to remember it being in F and using an open string for the unison part also. I used to play that lick over and over again when I practiced. It's incredible that anyone (Pete Drake?) could walk into a studio and lay down a riff like that with all the emotion and tone.
See my tab post for tonight. Hope it is close enought to use!

One of my favorite intros. I probably don't have it exact but I think i got the unison part. It's a cool open string thing, (beginning of the 3rd line)
I modified the tab to how i play it (if it doesn't format correctly try the link at the end).
