Any body have tabs on this tune. the one I found are not too good. I need the intro and fills.

[AugustWest]

When I play the intro by myself I just hammer on the 4th. switch from A to Asus4 sorta like the intro to tangled up in blue. The tabs for this song on this site are accurate. Just walk up or down into the next chord for fills. Like from A chord you can fall down into the E chord by playing single note G# F# into the E chord. If someone else is playing rhythm then I would guess you can fill your leads in arrpegio's around each chord or work within the A major scale. Hope this helps I am not really that accomplished of a guitar player.

Yeah I have the Old and In they Way banjo music book, and the chord progression is in there. When my band plays it I play that banjo intro and they do a little hammer on thing with there G chords, that what that banjo lick is in.

Chorus

[Shaggy]

Cool song. IMO though Jer never topped his Old and In The Way version.

[ronster]

Cheese jams on an A and C alternating chord thing changing it around by adding 7ths and 9ths. Fun to thing to jam out with in this tune. Use A maj and C maj scales for leads.

[Django]

Does the Old and in the Way banjo book really say 'alimoe station'?

[Banjomike0319]

Yeah, I might have spelt it wrong but yeah,

"I'll meet you at alimoe station, and we can say our preyer, the holy ghost and the virgin mother will heal us as we kneel there".

Thats what I have in the book, why have you heard somthing different.

[jck_strw]

If you ever feel lonesome
And you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal, or borrow
Two nickels or a dime to call me on the phone
I'll meet you at Alamo Mission
Where we can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us
As we kneel there

I was just wondering, music books can be pretty inaccurate. This site is much more accurate both for lyrics and chords in most cases .
Alamo mission just has a mythical sound to it and I've always liked that line.
Also rock lyrics have a history of misinterpreted lyrics, like the "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" from Purple Haze.

[Banjomike0319]

I dont think I have run into a music book that is not accurate, I acutually perfer music books over tabs. Besides little licks and such.
