Down In the River to Pray

It has taken me longer than I intended to get this one done. I arranged this tune with a simple, mountain dulcimer type of sound in mind.

I used a tablature program called Songwrite, and then exported the tab in ASCII format.

I played this on the 12-string guitar, which I keep tuned at least a full step lower.

Enjoy.

*Please note that the high A note played on the 2nd fret of the G string sounds an octave higher. I used the high octave string of my 12-string guitar to play that one.
