This is the version that johnny cash and Willie Nelson play on the album "Storytellers"
If you don't know the album but you like either Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson, I'd recommend it to you!
The rythm of the song is quite easy,
Willie repeats these chords all the time:
ADEA
But he also got some fancy solo's that I will explain to you.
At a certain point in the solo description you see 6 b7.
I mean that he holds the 6th fret and bends the string to the tone of the 7th fret.
So he doesn't move his finger to the fret, but rather bends the string down or up to get to that same tone.
If you got anything to approve this tab, leave it in the comments!
:D ENJOY!
