Ill Be A Bachelor Till I Die tab by Hank Williams
Guitar Tab
Hank Williams I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die Intro: Here are three alternate-octave riffs you can toy around with to simulate the lap-steel guitar. The 3rd is closest to the steel version, but I think any riff will work depending on what you're going for. The 2nd version acts as a template for starting the guitar solo after the first verse. If you can use a slide, it sounds even better.
