Here is the tab for the finger pick as simplified as I could get
it. I believe you have to capo up 2 frets to play with the
album. I haven't played with the album on this song in a long
time so I'm not certain. There are 16 dashes to each measure
so timing is somewhat represented.
I have tabbed two stanzas of the pick. It continues the same way
throughout the song. During the guitar solo, emphasize the
melody on the high strings. If anyone tries to learn this from
the tab, I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on how
useable it was as it took me a while to figure out from the
album. If you learn this song, the Randall Knife is very
similar.
NOTE: The "h" above the staff means hammer the note directly
below it.
