Played slide in open C Tuning - CGCGCE

Mix around the open notes a bit. Fahey sometimes seems to play the E
before the high C, at the same time, and so on.

NOTE: From part J until part T you need to keep a constant drone on the low C.
I have put down what I do, but substituting other notes may work just as well.
Also, this tab is definitely not perfect. I leave some parts to you to improvise
and mess with, but SOME parts you just have to put little variations on to make
them more interesting.

I will leave the intro for you to improvise. Basically, just play around in
a C scale with the slide.

Part Q NOTE: This part is the same idea as parts R and S. Simply and
steadily
go up the middle C.

Part S: Basically, for part R, just slide up the fretboard on the middle C
as
you did in parts R and Q. However, don't stop until you get to the 12th fret
(this was not an easy part to tab because it isn't very consistant). Every
once
and while strum what you have and then go back to sliding...
you will have to listen to the song to get it right. When your done going up
3 times,
play part T.
