I won't vouch for the accuracy of this tab. I tried to pick out the melody from the harmony and eliminated a lot of gliss notes. I listed the difficulty level as intermediate because: 1. There are some deep bends, 2. A lot of notes should start bent and then unbend in order for the song to sound right. (Listen to the midi...or Al Hirt's version.), and 3. There are a few sets of 1/16th note triplets. I was inspired to tab this song after hearing Al Hirt's beautiful rendition on trumpet.
I wish this song had lyrics.
I've attached the score as a file.
