I would like to request this tab or chord progression for the W. Nelson song "Ain't it Funny How Time Slips Away". I know the DMB does it in D but could I get it in a G pattern? The beginning looks like this (my first tabbing attempt)
e---2------------2
B---3------------3
G---2-------2---2 about 2xthen to G
D-0-0--2-4---0--
A-------------
E-------------

e---2------2
B---2------2
G---0------0
D---0----0-0
A----0-2----
E-3-------3-

But it's easier to play in G than D for me... am I S.O.L.?

Willie does it in D also. Can you get me a link to a clip of the tune? (I don't think I have that one at home.)

try this
I hope this works... it's a link to youtube

But I'm learning to play it... singing along is proving difficult

Okay, I watched the video. I didn't tab out the whole tune, which I don't think you needed anyway. I just transposed the chords he used and the couple of little licks or walks he threw in into the key of G from his key of D tune. You should be able to fairly easily use the stuff below to now put it together in G. Anyway, I hope this helps....

CODE

Chords on video in D: D=X00232; G=320003; Cadd9=X32030; E7=020100 or 022130; A=X02220

Chords transposed to G: G=320003; C=X32010; Fadd9=103213 or X03213; A7=X02020; D=X00232


Little G-thingy (formerly D-thingy)

------3---------------------------------
------0-----------0---------------------
-(0)--0-----------0----repeat, etc------
--0---0-----------0---------------------
--2---3-----0--2------------------------
--3---3--3------------------------------

A similar thing can be done in the C position
(if desired) instead of a simple C-chord (formerly G)

------0----------0----------------------
------1----------1----------------------
--0---0----------0-----etc--------------
--2---2----0--2-------------------------
--3---3--3------------------------------
----------------------------------------


Where he goes from the D=X00232 into Cadd7=X32030 you'll instead
now go from the G=320003 into the Fadd7=103213 or just X03213.


Now you go to C then A7 (instead of his G to E7)


Where he did the "walk" in the A-chord
before going back to the D, which was...

---------------------2---------------------------
--2------------------3---------------------------
--2------------------2---or something very close-
--2-----------2------0---------------------------
--0-----------0------0---------------------------
------3---2---0----------------------------------


You can now do this "walk" instead from D into G...

--2-----------------3-------------------
--3-----------------0-------------------
--2-----------2-----0-------------------
--0-----------0-----0-------------------
------3---2---0-----2-------------------
--------------------3-------------------

(I hope I didn't make any typos!)
