Highwayman

Tabbed by Andrew MacNaughton -- *

Notes: This is a beautiful song, and
 obviously involves several 
instruments; here is
"my" version of the guitar part. I 
use the Travis picking technique, 
since I think it
suits the rythm of the song and 
sounds fairly close to the actual 
song itself. Basically
I wanted to learn this song, and 
couldn't find a version I liked 
online, so after playing
Dust in the Wind (which uses the 
same picking technique), decided 
that the picking
technique for that song would suit 
this one, so I figured out the 
chords (very basic
ones), and applied the technique.  
It remains the same throughout the 
song, though you
can vary the bass line, the pattern 
of the picking, and the hammer-ons, 
etc. to
improve/spice up the song.  This is 
my first tabbing project,and I'm 
unaware of whether
other tabbers use software to tab, 
but I just used notepad (hopefully 
the format turns
out!), so it took a while writing it
 all out and copying and pasting!  
I'd appreciate
any feedback on my first tab.  Also,
 I'm not quite up to scratch on 
theory, so the
measures/bars are probably not 
accurate.  Sounds like a 4/4 beat to
 me, but as I said,
I'm kind of rusty when it comes to 
theory...
