Artist/Band: Charles Ray Tabs
Song: Three Quarter Time Tab
This song is on Ray Charles' country album "Wish You were Here Tonight"
circa 1982 or 1983. I picked it up around 1984. It's really a good country
song -- try to check it out.
I worked this song out off the record, so it's all my own work and may not
be perfectly accurate, but it works for me. Hope it does for you, too.
