: this is part of a 'relatively easy' piece played recorded by Chet

: Atkins, called "La Madrugada" or "The Early Morning Dawn". This is the

: first movement, and tell me if you like it enough to post the other

: three movements. (I don't have any tab software so it'll come slow and

: one at a time unless someone can tell me step-by-step how to get and

: install it)

: timing is 4/4 in C major

: hint: ALL NOTES ARE 1/8 notes - in this section without exception

: La Madrugada, by JR Hubbard, as recorded by C Atkins
