Saddle Tramp - Marty Robbins
First released on the Saddle Tramp album in 1966
Key F
The guitar line is difficult to hear in the mix. The "feel" is set by a simple alternating bass
line and I have tabbed to emphasise it.
Each chord symbol is a 3/4 bar, ( all chord changes come on the first beat of the bar.)
The split chords indicate picking the bass note indicated rather than the chord root.
For example: F/C is pick C as beat 1 than 2 strums F (downstroke) on beats 2 & 3.
F on its own is pick F on beat 1 then 2 strums F on beats 2&3
