Great song by one of country's greatest. The bass simply plays what the guitar plays,
the main riff is the same on guitar.

The Main Riff above is a good start, but is wrong is several important points. Here is the correct Main Riff: [tab] G|------------------|------------------| D|------------------|------------------| A|---------5---4-2--|---------5---4-2--| E|-0-0-3-4---0------|-0-0-3-4---0------|[/tab] The riff on for the A chord follows this pattern. The start of the chorus is not correct either. Here is the correct part: Chorus G|------------------|------------------|------------------| D|------------------|------------------|------------------| A|------------------|------------------|------------------| E|-5---5---5-5-3-0--|-5---5---5-5-3-0--|-5---5---5-5-3-0--| Then, repeat the main riff twice. Then repeat the three bars of A: [tab] G|------------------|------------------|------------------| D|------------------|------------------|------------------| A|------------------|------------------|------------------| E|-5---5---5-5-3-0--|-5---5---5-5-3-0--|-5---5---5-5-3-0--|[/tab] Then the chorus ends with: [tab] G|----------------|------------------| D|----------------|------------------| A|-2---2---2-2-2--|-2-2-0-0----------| E|----------------|---------4-4-2-2--| [/tab] ToneHz
