Anyone know where I might find "Wayfaring Stranger" tabbed out as performed by Sam and Dawg on Bluegrass Mandolin Extravaganza Vol 1?
I'm trying to figure it out and would like to check my amateurish ear.

I'd like to know too. Just started listening to the cd today. Great tune and arrangement.

It's in Gm. here are the chords:
Verse: Gm / Cm / Gm // Gm / Cm / D7 / Gm
Chorus: (Gm modulates to Bb at the very beginning) Bb / Eb / Bb // Bb / Eb /Bb / D7 --> last line of verse
on guitar I play it in Em / G, at lot easier. On mando the Gm/Bb is a gorgeous key.

I think it's this one (http://www.mandozine.com/music/tabledit_files/WayfaringStranger3-Gm-Trad.tef) (in the Mandozine tabs (http://www.mandozine.com/music/index.php)). This is in TablEdit format.
Haven't heard that version, but T. Rice does it on his Cold On The Shoulder. Has Sam on it and the venerable Vassar (R.I.P.)

Hmmm, the version that i linked to above seems to be another album too, but it has Sam and Dawg (and Thile).

The link is to a transcription from a live performance at Rockygrass in 2001 with Bush, Grisman, Marshall, McCoury, and Thile.
