Prayer in Open D

Emmylou Harris
Tab
3.7(5)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

> I'm looking for a TAB for Emmylou Harris's Prayer in Open D. I'd appreciate

I asked for this about 2 months ago and didn't find any offers. Tried my

best to pick it out and it was "passable" but not perfect. For anyone who

wants to give it a try (and improve it), here goes:

Tune to Open D (of course)

h=hammer on

p=pull off

s=slide

Meter is not correct; this is my first tab and I borrowed the template from

someone else's tab.
