We have an official Rawhide tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This is an adaptation of the "Rawhide" melody, copped from Guy
van Duser's "Great Western TV Medley", although he does it with a
capo at the second fret.  Let me take this opportunity to plug
Guy - if you get a chance to hear his CD "American Fingerstyle
Guitar", do so.  The "hat" symbol in this is a hammer or pull-
off.  Now, think of the Blues Brothers in the country bar.

Rough lyrics for the first two verses, as I remember them:
 
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Keep those wagons rollin'
Keep those wagons rollin', rawhide
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Wishin' my girl was by my side
 
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though those streams are swollen
Gotta keep 'em rollin', rawhide
Don't try and understand 'em
Just rope and throw and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
 
Is that last verse about cattle or women?  Am I naive for even
wondering?
 
Cordially,
 
Blind Squirrel Bowerman
