The original tab here was not bad, but is wasn't quite accurate, either. This

one is a lot harder, and a little longer, but it is more accurate. It is set up

with a Drop-D Capol. If you cannot find one of these, get a cheap $2 capol, and

cut 1/4 inch off the top. Incidentally, this piece sounds best on a classical

guitar. In this style of playing, it is best to think of the piece as three

different independent lines: Bass, Melody, Accomp. Let the bass and melody ring

out as long as possible. Graphic file of musical notation (showing proper voices)

and midi file available by e-mail request.
