this is my cut on Kottke's version (light years ahead
of good ol'boy Duane's). As a musical novice, I am unable
to add time values to the Tab. I break up measures very
hap-hazardly to say the least.
Bottom line... If you're not familiar with the tune
you're in big trouble. You gotta listen to it.
"Little Martha"

Noon"

Note: the "10s9" is later on played "10s9s10s9"
with the 2nd string only struck once.

^ Note: The third string open note here (in combination
with the second string open note) is optional. The two
notes played together give a fuller sound. This idea
holds true for sections II and III when adjacent string
notes are played (eg. 5,s below and 0,s in section I.

Repeat Section II, then everything from the top
I think..:)

Not to worry...above measure not nearly as hard
as it appears. If you don't use right hand ring
finger to play, leave out "7s9"s. Last hammer/pull-
offs done with only one, initial right hand movement.
Just keep hammer/pulloff going til you run out of
sustain...

Leo slightly muffles above measure with heel of
right hand. Somewhat of a staccato effect. Note
that "1 0" and rest of measure played with alter-
nating right thumb and index finger (I think! :)
If previous measure doesn't work for you try it
this way...

Same notes but maybe a little easier?
