Tommy Emmanuel - Stay Close To Me guitar tab

Your rating:
Once again I'm tabbing an entirely acoustic version of this song.
This may upset some of you by the fact that this version is in C while the album
version is in A. Tommy plays a solo version of this song on the CD single to
Classical Gas. I guess he plays it in C to get a "full" sound as opposed to the
limitations of playing it in A as a solo piece. Then again I could be wrong! So
I am attempting the solo version in C. If you like the song, it won't be hard for you
to pick up.
The guitar is tuned slightly differently with this piece. The bottom E string is tuned
up to a G. See how you go.....

In the key of C

It doesn't look much but there's plenty there. I hope all these symbols don't
drive you too insane, although the longer it takes you to figure out!
