the other versions of this song have quite a few errors and are a pain
to play off of. Hears my interpretation for one guitar from a live
version I have. If you can't figure out when rests, holds and chords (all of the
chorus) are placed from listening to the track, too bad.

The railroad tracks and the pussywillow
