I'm sure it'll be fine.

Oh brother of mine.

(Then a Bb6    chord is strummed for awhile while the piano and mandolin do their
thing)
 
 
[Refrain]
       Bb6
In the quivering forest, 
       Cadd9
Where the shivering dog rests, 
          Bb6
I will do it grandfather, 
       Cadd9
Wilt to wood and end. 
        Bb6
And the river got frozen, 
        Cadd9
And the hole got snowed in, 
        Bb6
And near the moon glow ride, 
    Fm13
Till the morning light. 
 
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm7                Am11
Terrible am I child? 
Gm7               Am11
Even if you don't mind, 
Bb6
In the quivering forest, 
       Cadd9
Where the shivering dog rests, 
        Bb6
I will do it grandfather, 
       Cadd9
Wilt to wood and end. 
        Bb6
And the river got frozen, 
        Cadd9
And the hole got snowed in, 
        Bb6
And near the moon glow ride, 
    Fm13
Till the morning light. 
 
Gm7               Am11
Terrible am I child? 
Gm7               Am11
Even if you don't mind, 
Gm7               Am11
No
Gm7   Am11

Well done on the tab just the lyrics are out of place. Lie down with me, my dear. Lie down Under stormy night. Tell nobody. My brother, where do you intend to go tonight? I heard that you missed your connecting flight to the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee. You're ever welcome with me any time you like, Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes, So no one gets worried, no. So no one gets worried, no. But Sean don't get careless, I'm sure it'll be fine. I love you. I love you, Oh brother of mine. In the quivering forest, Where the shivering dog rests, Our good grandfather Built a wooden nest. And the river got frozen, And the home got snowed in. And a yellow moon glowed bright Till the morning light.

This was awesome! I've been waiting for someone to tab this correctly since the performance of this on Letterman - I tried but just couldn't figure out the right tuning. Right on man. My only issue is with the interpretation of the lyrics, but such is life.

Thanks, man! It's refreshing to see somebody not half-ass the tabs. Good job!
