I think the last lick of the intro tab that starts on the B string should actually start on the A string, moving that whole lick up a string.
+3
The last line in verse 1 should be "Forty-four pistol under my head"
+1
Almost perfect. Doc goes to A7, not Am one the last line of each verse. Otherwise, great job.
