Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
NOTE: Jay Smith does many versions of this song. He plays it in many different
keys and changes the lyrics, etc. So what I decided was to tab the CD
version (which I believe this to be) and then someone requested a live
version of which there are many to choose from. For all of the tabs here
I included the video I used to make the tabs from. Please take this into
consideration when using these tabs. Thanks

NOTE: This tab is in standard tuning. I do believe that Jay Smith
is either tuned down a half step or more and/or in an
alternate tuning. This explains why the chords here are NOT
the ones he plays in this live version but sound like them.
