Lord and it's not, not made by hand.
This is an attempt to tab this song in the Merle Travis finger picking
style.
The melody notes on the first and second string are played with the
fingers.
While the bass and rhythm are played with the thumb. Notes on the same
vertical line are played simultaneously with the thumb and fingers. I
finger
the basic chord indicated removing only those finger or fingers
necessary to
play or reach the melody note. Comments, suggestions, corrections and
improvements are welcomed.
