The Steel Guitar Forum

This has been tabbed before and I truly hope this doesn't ruffle anyone's feathers--this has been bugging me and I finally came up with something that sounds right to me. It's all about the jingle-jangle of that ringing 3rd string with the alternating lead voice. I hop the middle finger up for the single notes on the second string.
The end peters out--Loretta decided to start singing and I just can't figure what Hal is doing so I fake it...... I welcome corrections--I do not certify this as USDA Prime.

Don't Come Home a Drinkin'

I bet Bob Hempker knows how it goes!

DOUBLE D'OH!!!

Absolutely. And obviously. I was distracted by the fact that I tune my 2nd string to open D so for me to play it I have RKR raising it to D#. I'm not even noticing that I've got LKL raising 4. DUH!
Thanks, Mark.

Yeah, really, Jim. Bob, if you're anywhere in the area, I would really appreciate the real deal!<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jon Light on 28 May 2000 at 03:26 PM.]</p></FONT>
