Dixieland tabs - Steve Earle

How to Play "Dixieland" Guitar tabs

This is the mandolin lick plus chords for Dixieland off of the Mountain. I 
figured out this lick about a year ago at Guildtown Bluegrass festival, and saw 
it was requested so i tabbed it out.


The lick is very simplified and i know there is a lot more going on but if 
anyone wants ill do it for banjo too. Or guitar if no-one owns a banjo or 
mandolin. If the actual structure of the tab looks cr*p then just copy it into 
Word as Courier New and it should re-align.
