This is 'almost' a fakebook style arrangement.
This is a Scruggs style solo that features the 'melody' of Kristofferson's famous melody, but it is a just a solo...no melody line...the lyrics are aligned directly under the solo, so you can always tell where you're at in the tune.
It's mostly an Open-Position solo, but does run up the neck for a couple of 8tyh position C chords.
Key of G.
Not hard to play.
Fun tune.
