I hope this works for everyone who tries it.
I use my middle finger to pull the 1st string.

The version I tabbed before was the original intro to the song by Merle Haggard. There has been several versions of the song; but that one I posted was the original.

I think I missed your version of the tab, Ricky. I suppose it's still available if I can get the search function to work for me...

Thanks for posting that, Ricky. I tried to do the search with no luck and emailed bOb about my plight but hadn't heard back from him. I'll try the 75 day method.
