Psst, Frank, there is a tab with lyrics of this song (Gabby's version)in "Hawaiian Slack Key: A Lifetime of Study", a book by taropatch member Peter Madeiros. This is a great book and it has lots of songs and lots of tunings. There is a thread about it on here somewhere. Peter's website is: slackkeybypetermed.com. |

I have trouble with my hearing and cognition so I realy value having some sort of written guide myself. Not all of us are so good at learning everythign by ear or retaining things.
here is a guidesheet I foud of the song. best of luck

Eh, Frank, remember that you learned language by ear, identify songs and tunes you like by ear, and communicate in conversation mostly by ear. |

Frank, this would be a great song to try getting away from tabs. The melody is pretty straightforward, the chords are few and obvious.
Can you do a vamp from the first position D7 to the G at the fifth fret? Can you do one from the 12th fret down to the fifth? If so, you're about half-way home. Instead of getting eye strain figuring out what a tab sheet is trying to tell you, spend the time listening to the song and singing/humming along.
Then hum the melody - it starts off repeating one note several times, the G at the fifth fret. Then it jumps up to the G at 7-8-9 and walks back down to the fifth. Then a D7 at 5-7-7, or play any vamp, back to the G, followed by a G7 at 2-mute-3. A barre at the fifth is the C, and climb back up to the 7-8-9 G, then end up with a vamp from 10 down to 5, top it off with a vamp from 12 to 5.
Now, isn't that easier and more fun than trying to figure out a tab?
