I just got the new Tony Rice cd "Night Flyer" and I just can't get enough of Jerry Reed's "The Likes of Me". I was wondering if any of you guys know the chords or have the tab for it before I dig into learning it. Sam Bush plays some nice breaks on it, its worth checking out. Thanks!

******I just worked this out when I saw your post. I could be wrong in a few parts but I tabbed it really fast. I didn't really pay attention to spelling or anything. If anyone else plays it another way feel free to correct me. I also spent a few minutes trying to line the chords up over the words so hopefully it doesn't get messed up when I post this

Well, it did mess up when I posted it. If you want I can try to email it to you with the chords in the right spots. *sigh*

With the help of downtowner, I think I finally got something that works for me. I had gotten frustrated with it and put in down for a while. I figured I'd give it another go, any suggestions are welcome!

Select Courier New font and it should format correctly. Maybe not, but it is supposed to.

Sam Bush mando break is in Dave Peters book.

What is 'Night Flyer', a compilation of previously-issued stuff?
