Guitar Tab

Townes Van Zandt (with Barb Donovan):
I'll be here in the morning

(from "Document" [1997], also released on the CD "Rare Trax
Vol. 1", which was attached to the German edition
of "Rolling Stone" [January 1997])

This is a beautiful song, particularly in this version - a duet
with Barb Donovan from 1996 and one of his last recordings (the song
was originally released in 1970 on "Townes Van Zandt", his third album).

The picking is quite easy - I tabbed the first verse and there are just
minor variations in the following verses. To me it sounds reasonably
correct.
It is not clear, who plays guitar on the recording - Townes Van Zandt or
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Barb Donovan.
