Subject: Long Haired Country Boy by the Charlie Daniels Band in it's original Open D Tuning and arranged for a solo performer.
 Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2003 13:57:06 -0500
 From: "Jon Roth" <JRoth@ucbbank.com>
 I know you have three versions of this song already, which helped me get 
 started, however what I have done here is to tab & chord it out in the 
 original OPEN D TUNING that you will find if you listen to the original 
 recording.  The open D tuning works really well if you are planning on 
 playing it as a solo performer, so the intro has been arranged for one 
 guitar.  I have also included the second part of the intro, as well as 
 included notes on the alternating bass line that you hear throughout the 
 song, and would be necessary if you are playing this by yourself.  The 
 instrumental section I skipped, but it's just the verse and the chorus with 
 a second guitar playing the melody line an octave higher...  followed by 
 the intro riff part 1.  This would be done just before verse 3.
