***Big thanks to martink12au & CPWKruger for their input into creating this Tab.*** Tabbed by Robert Da Prato 7th August, 2023 Define: * Single Strum Chord fingerings shown below are in order of appearance in the tab sections labelled and a guide only. I did this because it sounds like Willie Nelson uses different fingerings for the same name chord.
