by Bill Monroe
Here's my first break from PLECTROLOGY vol 2. I can't guarantee that this is exactly how I played it, but I think it's pretty close. In the places where it looks sparse, you'll need to put some strums in to fill out the sound. I didn't notate these - listen to the tape to get the feel.
There's a couple of places of rhythmic weirdness in this tune - there's a measure of 2/4 at the beginning of the C-part and a measure of 2/4 in the D-part.
Capo at 2. All positions and chords notated relative to the capo.
