"Straight" by Lincoln from the self-titled album. Transcribed by Randall Leeds Totally accoustic, finger picked. Listen to the song for the exact rhythms. I've done my best to transcribe every note I can but it's unrealistic to expect it to be perfect. Use your ears. Tune down one half step.

If anyone could do this and submit it or send it to me, I'd appreciate it a lot. Verse 3: Same as second verse, but you can start out not picking every note. If you listen to the song I think he leaves out some notes and then builds it up. If you want to just play everything though, that of course sounds good. Pre-chorus and chorus (no interlude): The second time through the pre-chorus and chorus is the same as the first. This time, don't play the interlude, but play the outro.

If you appreciate this tab, please send me an e-mail and I'll try to tab out some more Lincoln stuff. No one seems to know this gem of an album. -Randall
