I was able to restore my tab of Little Martha from backup tapes
(thank goodness for backups !). Here it is again.

            Little Martha
           by: Duanne Allman

 Playing notes:

 This instrumental is played in open Chord diagramE MajorE tuning (Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramBB Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramG#G# Chord diagramBB Chord diagramE MajorE).
 Rather than tuning the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings up (which can
 be really stressful on the neck), you can tune down to open Chord diagramD MajorD
 (Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramF#F# Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD) and capo at the second fret.

 The thumb keeps time with a monotonic bass line while the
 fingers play the melody. The structure of the tune is:

   1 - Intro
   2 - Part 1 ending with [1.]
   3 - Repeat Part 1 ending with [2.]
   4 - Part 2
   5 - Repeat Part 1 up until [To Coda]
   6 - Coda

Chords used: numbers in grid indicate frets
       numbers in parentheses are suggested fingerings (1=index,2=middle,etc)
