Hi James,

Here's some sheet music for C Major, so no sharps or flats. This should make it easy to work out for yourself (the first note is on the open string).

I play it both Daa and Ddd. Sounds great both ways... Robert

I saw, maybe I should have clarified Ionian tuning, so I will print out one of these tabs and add 3 save for the jump to the middle string parts.  

 James, as you can see, Frank linked to two versions of the song, both in DAd.  The melody goes down (in fact starts on) the middle A string.  So if you want to play melody drone, you will need to tune DAA and adjust the tab accordingly.

I have a song request for a tab that I don't have in a book, or have scene on ED, Home on the Range.  If someone has a melody line tab that they could send me, I would greatly appreciate it.
