The Webb Pierce recording isn't in standard tuning but the Cowboy Cobas was so I used the Cowboy Cobas recording to tab this tune. Webb Pierce is between D and E standard tuning but the chords they use are in the key of E. This tab has this same song in two keys. The key of C is first and further down the page is the recording key of E.
