Subject: "The Cowboy in Me" by Tim McGraw

I think this is pretty close to the way it is on the CD; if anyone can 
figure out the actual finger picking pattern for the 1st verse and the tab 
for the guitar solo, it would be greatly appreciated.

"The Cowboy in Me" by Tim McGraw
From his album "Set this Circus Down"
Written by Craig Wiseman, Jeffrey Steele, and Al Anderson
