Here's my first attempt at TAB notation.

The Dance

written by Tony Arata
performed by Garth Brooks
transcription by Greg Vaughn

Here's the song that, in my opinion, launched a superstar

Keyboard intro (I like how it sounds on guitar)

Keyboards continue through arpeggios, but I play the following guitar chords

Em/C/Dsus D/Em7(add 4th)/    repeat and fade  (slash separates measures)

NOTES:
I generally fingerpick the verses with a timtrtmi.  It's not exactly
what's on the CD, but it's close.  If anyone has something better,
I'd be happy to hear about it.
Bm7       is played x24232
Em7(add4) is played 002030
It helps to play the G with your middle, ring, and pinky fingers
Just slide 2 frets up the neck to get the D/G chord in the guitar intro
Listen to the song to get the rhythm
The "G  C/G G C/G" in the verses are played like the guitar intro

If you download this then I assume that you are a country music fan like me.
I haven't found enough country songs in the archive, so I'll begin sending
some of my own, hoping that others will send some that I don't know.
If you want to talk country guitar with me, or if my notation makes no sense
(this is my first attempt at tab notation) feel free to e-mail me.
