Tab

This tab is for the studio recording released on the Harvest album from '72. The tab is based on the version from gatman. I changed most of the solos so they are nearly 100% correct for the version mentioned above. Also i added two guitar patterns you can use and mentioned where they are played. Pattern #2 imitates the riff the steel guitar plays.
