In The Garden

It has taken me a long time to post my first tab. Apologies. A fellow musician once told me that he would rather slide down a telephone pole naked, than tab out one of his tunes. I would not go THAT far personally, but it is time consuming, so please bear with me.

Anyway, this tune is an old hymn that I arranged while my wife was out on an errand. By the time she got home, I was ready to record it. It is a very basic arrangement that will probably fill out with time.

I tabbed this out with a program called eTktab, which I then exported into a text file. Not perfect, and not very pretty, but it gets the idea across. The program is a free download and it works with Windows, Mac or Linux. If it is difficult to read here, you can copy & paste it into a text file. Post a reply if you run into any problems.

EDIT: Note the 3 note chord in measure 5 differs slightly from the arrangement on the video. The more I play the tune, the more it matures. A case in point for not recording things that are too new.
