I think this song is on Garcia-Grisman. As I recall if you can play by ear you should be able to figure it out from that track..

I assume you're talking about the original studio recording on American Beauty... sorry, I don't know where to find it. In general I don't think Grisman is doing anything overly complicated unless you want to learn it note-for-note.

I got it. It's easy. Nothing tricky at all. Thx!

Yep, as I recall, it's all pretty scalar with standard chord figures, like 0-2-3 for C.

That's what I recall... with a chord or double-stop slide from Db to D behind the beginning of the chorus.

For a fast version I utilized "Pickin' on the Dead" CD to get me started.

I thought it was a C to C# slide near the beginning of the bridge.

The bluegrass tune blackberry blossom 2nd "A" part fits nicely over the verse.

I could be wrong... it's been awhile since I've played it or even listened to the LP/CD, but I think it's a half step up (Db-D). The part I'm thinking of is the "Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night", which I think is basically a straight D chord but Grisman spiced it up with the slide.

Well I guess we're both right since we're talking about an enharmonic chord C#/Db but I called it a C# since I started on the C and went up rather than down to Db from the D. But then again theory's not my strong suit so YMMV. #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
