Notes: Two versions of Osborne's classic, one from 60's 'Voices In Bluegrass' album, second from 80's 'Once More' LP (dilemma, if you have only one break in this song :) I tabbed it some time ago, and I'm not quite sure about precision, but you can get the basic idea.
60's version is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiYKMBsWZfM

Notes: Sonny recorded this one on his Banjo with the extra low string, he said he recorded it on a Tuesday and that was the first song he ever recorded on that banjo. This is just an idea of how to pick it on a 5-string banjo. I made 2 tabs. Page 1 is in Open G tuning capo 4, and page 2 is in Drop C tuning capo 4. There's chords so you can pick with a friend on a rainy day. Here's a reference video, have fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ImS3ZUqbHY
