I agree, Israel's is a fantastic version of these 2 songs, and sad that he is no longer with us.
Thank you for leaving your kind comment, it's great to hear you enjoy playing it.
Cheers, DJ

Thank you so much for the wonderful tab, my dad passed away suddenly a month ago today, and we played this song as my brother and I carried his casket down the aisle. Playing this song will always remind me of him, and the good times we had together...
