I would love to find a tab on Cowboys and Indians.  I played "at it" years ago and would love to learn it again.  I don't have a recorded reference yet but I will be trying to find one.  Can anyone help with a good tab?



 



Thanks..............Pickalot

I know banjoist Jim Mills recorded it on his Hide Head Blues CD from Sugar Hill Records, but I don't know if you can find a tab for C&I. I picked it out by ear from Jim's recording, and it's in Cm, as you probably already know. Its' in drop C tuning, which is gCGBD.



Let me know if you need some more help.

Nice Tab Sean,


Jim Mills picks it pretty much the same as the original by Bill Emerson but just a lot


slower...Jim Mills is a very good


traditional player I've always thought...Thanks for the post...Jack
