Your thumb should have a steady motion and strike on each downbeat: strike the A string then the D string then the E string then the D string--thats four count--then start over again. So the key to knocking this is getting comfortable with the thumb motion. Once you get that, add in the remaining strings using your other fingers. By the way, this is the same pattern John uses on Dear Prudence! Oh, when the Dm comes, the thumb just moves up a string so that it plucks the A, D, and G strings; other than that the pattern is the same. Have fun!

I've always liked the song, so came up with this arrangement for guitar accompaniment. Any ideas for fleshing this out, improving or arranging an intro for it, let me know. Also, this is my first full attempt at writing guitar tab notation, so hope its close enough for government work . I use capo at 3rd fret (chords listed are transposed to 1st position) The song is really in key of E flat on the record (not C) Martha my dear though I spend my days in conver-sa-tion C C5 C6 C C5 C6 Em Em9 Dsus4 D D5 Dsus4 E|-0---3-------5---0-------3---5--|-0---2---3---3---3---2----5--3--| B|-1---1-------1---1-------1---1--|-0-------3---3---3---3----3--3--| G|-0---0-------0---0-------0---0--|-0-------2---2---2---2----2--2--| D|-2---------------2--------------|-2------------------------------| A|-3---------------3--------------|-2------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . please... be good to me Martha, my love D G5 F E|-2-------------------3---2---0--|-3-------3-------1---1---1---1--| B|-3------------------------------|-3----------3----1---1---1---1--| G|-2------------------------------|-----0---------0-2---2---2---2--| D|-0------------------------------|-----------------3---3---3---3--| A|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|-3------------------------------| + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . don't forget me Martha, my G7 F F(add 9) G7 F F(add 9) E|-1---1---0-------1-------3--------|-1---1---0-------1-------3--------| B|-0---0------3--0----1-------1-----|-0---0------3--0----1-------1-----| G|-0---0-----------------2-------2--|-0---0-----------------2-------2--| D|-0---0-----------3-------3--------|-0---0-----------3-------3--------| A|-2---2----------------------------|-2---2----------------------------| E|-3---3----------------------------|-3---3----------------------------| + . + . + . + . + . + . + . + . dear ...

Rocky Racoon checked into his room only to find Gideon's bible Rocky had come equipped with a gun to shoot off the legs of his rival. His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams by stealing the girl of his fancy Her name was McGill, and she called herself 'Lil' But everyone knew her as Nancy. Now she and her man (who called himself Dan) Were in the next room at the hoedown Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin, he said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown." But Daniel was hot. He drew first and shot and Rocky collapsed in the corner. Da-n-da da da-n-da da da... Now the doctor came in stinking of gin and proceeded to lie on the table. He said, "Rocky, you met your match." But Rocket said, "Doc, it's only a scratch. And I'll be better... I'll be better Doc as soon as I am able." Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room only to find Gideon's bible.

I can't tell if a capo is used on the first fret, the guitars are tuned up a step, or the tape has been altered. But we can play along by capoing the first fret and playing in E. I have also included a version in F for those with capophobia. E C#m7 F#m7 B7 Who knows how long I've loved you? E C#m7 G#m You know I love you still. E7 A B7 C#m7 E Will I wait a lonely lifetime? A B7 E A B7 (with riff 1: see below) If you want me to, I will. E C#m7 Fm#7 B7 For if I ever saw you, E C#m7 G#m I didn't catch your name. E7 A B7 C#m7 E But it never really mattered; A B7 E E7 (with riff 2) I will always feel the same. A G#m C#m (with riff 3) Love you forever and forever, F#m B7 E E7 (with riff 2) Love you with all of my heart. A G#m C#m Love you whenever we're together,
