Lay My Head On the Rail - Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses Album: Junky Star DGDGAd Tuning (You can also play in DADGAD but it makes Riff b harder to play because you have to use the 5th fret of the low D string then) Not an overly complicated song. I simplified some of the finger picking and in the bass he just keeps a nice solid straight 4 rhythm. Just listen to the songs for the changes and this tab will work perfectly for ya. Enjoy! and Please Rate...
