HOWDY FOLKS 
YET ANOTHER TOP QUALITY TAB from TIN MAN!!      

I extremely honoured to present yet another of Stevie's Harp Solo's  

this isn't a tab of the song, its the Tab of Stevie's HARP BITS in the song.    

This song is actually quite involved and if i throw it all at you at once you will be lost. So to make it easy to learn and eventually play along this will be a TWO part tab. this tab contains all the HARP FILLS and RIFFS that Stevie plays. The second tab will contain the Solo at 2:50 in the song and the OUTRO starting at 4:12 that runs all the way to the end (including the very faint and faded bits at the end) 

without further adieu here it is     

NOTE* when you see < it means play the hole with THE SLIDE BAR PRESSED IN.       

when you see notes in brackets its one of stevie's trademark trills  

(basically three or more notes played rapidly by pushing in and releasing the bar rapidly)

ENJOY!!!
