Note: I couldn't find any tabs for this song online so this is all from scratch, and I don't have good music
theory knowledge so several of the chords I made up names for (i.e. EbX). If anyone knows the real names of
these chords don't hesitate to correct me!
Rhythm: The song is in 3/3 time so it's a little hard to get used to if you normally play standard 4/4,
but listen to it a few times and play along with the Wood Brothers to get the timing right. Most of the chords
are played just for one measure each so it's a lot of quick chord changing throughout the song. This is the
first tab I've submitted and it took me several hours to figure out so I hope there aren't too many mistakes.
Chords: When playing this waltz-like song, for the first beat hit the bass note with your thumb then
for the next 2 beats in the measure simultaneously pluck three or four higher strings. It sounds like
bum chuck chuck bum chuck chuck. The bass is really important in this song so make sure you get the rhythm down.
You also have to walk up the bass notes from C to Bb when transitioning to the chorus, so the transition will
be 3 bass notes walking up. You can figure those notes out easily by listening to the song.
