Dobie Gray - Drift away

Drift Away- Dobie Gray Tabbed by: Nathan DeYoung- This is my first tab, but I felt like there should be a better lead guitar tab on record for this song. Some parts may not be exact.There is a lot of dead space since the his voice carries the song. I recommend listening to the recording to get the timing. Please feel free to comment with suggestions. Tuning: Standard [Intro] Finger picking backwards rolls. There are some youtube clips on this intro that are semi helpful to get the idea.
