My attempt to tab this song represents one run

through the song, so it is worth listening closely

to the original to find variations. Also some bars

may be repeated though I haven't shown it. Try to

emulate Williamson's stroking and caressing of the

strings, and the relaxed way of strumming which makes it such a tender

love song. Also the open tuning

allows for bottom (or top) strings to be struck with

the effect of making the chords sound richer, so

don't be too strict with the shapes I have given.

 

   

    First...  loved...  come...  goodbye..
