Song:   old king
Artist: by Niel Young.  He play'd it on "Harvest moon".Enjoy!!!

It all starts with a banjo(?)intro.Any way-I tab it for guitar.
tune:DADGBD(low to high). that's drop D' tuning, folk's!
I don't claim this to be a 100% right tab, but it's not wrong!
But as always-corrections welcome! This tab was made by "the great
beyond".

 h=halv note           B=11
 q=quarter note        C=12
 e=eight note          s=slide
