I don't remember if I've ever posted this song. I stole the

arrangement from Chet Atkins, after hearing him play it on Austin City

Limits. I learned it in an effort to teach myself to fingerpick, so

my version is pretty simple.

The hardest thing is to get the timing of the melody line right. I

play this song with a Jazzy triplet (swing) rhythm. The bass part

played with the thumb stays right on the downbeat, but the melody

jumps ahead of the beat sometimes:
